Summary

Description	The 2013 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree was lit for the first time on Monday December 2, 2013 in front of the Capitol Dome. The tree's lights were tested for its official lighting ceremony. Speaker of the House John A. Boehner hosted the tree's lighting ceremony on Tuesday, December 3, on the Capitol’s West Front lawn. This year’s tree is an Engelmann spruce from the Newport Ranger District of the Colville National Forest in Washington State and harvested on Monday November 25. It is decorated with thousands of ornaments, handcrafted by Washingtonians to reflect this year’s theme, “Sharing Washington’s Good Nature,” which highlights the state’s historical, cultural and natural beauty. The Capitol Christmas Tree has been a tradition at the U.S. Capitol since 1964. The tree will be lit from night fall until 11 p.m. each evening through January 1, 2014.
