this is a totally silly and off topic question....
do you think those decorations on that tree are there permanently or do they have to redecorate it every year? I wonder how long that would take to decorate lol. that's one honking tree
I don't think that's a silly question - and most certainly not off topic.
I wonder if all those decorations are on a mesh which is dropped over the tree? Seems like I saw they did that on one of the trees right by the White House. It would save lots of time to do it that way.
I posted the picture to show Bonny that there is some Political Christmas Spirit around. One just has to look for it.

Thank you Grace for the lovely lite up tree. They are actually arguing in congress over their Christmas break & important legislation as I type. I guess they don't want to work into the holidays?
I was referring to those two rascals Wom & Blue in my post above. :D
I like your string of Christmas lights to Grace. :)
hmmm mesh would make sense. I would imagine decorating that every year would take A LOT of time and some precision to make sure everything is in it's place.
Is it a new tree every year? or is it one that's already there or is it fake?
I have a lot of christmas tree questions LOL
Well, I do have some answers. Do you get HGTV? They had an hour show about decorating the White House - they've been doing it every year for quite some time.
Best I can figure, the outside trees are live - the ones inside the White House are cut. In the Green Room they had a couple of trees and several window wreaths made of re-cycled newspapers and magazines. That only cost $75 - for the gilt spray. You can get the idea here -

HERE is a link to photos of D.C. trees. You can really see the mesh in some of the pictures.
If I find out anymore info, I'll post it. And for any of our resident grinches, this subject is on topic - Washington = Politics and Christmas = Religion.
Some of you will get a kick out of this article -
