Politics and religion.

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.

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.

hmmm... that's very interesting. Thank you for the link. I always wondered how they did things on this scale. Like at Disney World... there are HUGE decorated trees everywhere and I always wondered how they decorated them or how long it took.
