On Friday, December 24th, Tom and I and our friend Jeff ventured into Washington, DC via Metro (Subway) to check out the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse in front of the White House.
What a difference a year makes!! The tree is beautiful and is surrounded by a fenced in, self-guided area through smaller trees for each state. Each state contributed to decorations made by a school in the state, and depict things unique to the state or something famous in the state. We took photos of several of them, which you will find in today's blog.
PRESIDENT'S PARK RESTORED TO NORMAL! - As a side note, the park behind the White House no longer has a chain-linked fence keeping people out as it did during the dictator's (Trump) rule. Gone are the signs protesting that awful nightmare, and all of the trash. The park is restored to its full beauty. People once again can walk freely and openly without worry of being attacked by right-wing nuts. What a huge, huge difference - a return to peace and sanity! (ABOUT PRESIDENT'S PARK: President's Park, located in Downtown Washington, D.C., encompasses the White House and includes the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the Treasury Building, and grounds; the White House Visitor Center; Lafayette Square; and The Ellipse. President's Park was the original name of Lafayette Square.)
Now, On with the Christmas trees!
