Capitol Christmas tree arrives in DC

WASHINGTON - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the nation's capital with the arrival of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree! The 38-year-old, 63-foot Norway spruce was harvested from the Monongahela National Forest in eastern West Virginia on November 1. It was delivered early Friday morning along the National Mall and will be put into position in front of the U.S. Capitol. The official tree lighting will take place on the Capitol's West Lawn on November 30.
