The National Christmas Tree goes green


Last night, the Obamas lit The National Christmas Tree, an American tradition dating back in 1923. It was a perfect night for the lightning ceremony. It's full moon and the evening's breeze was pleasant.

So after working late at the office, I walked to the Ellipse to see the National Christmas tree before going home.

What a beauty! And here's what I love most about this year's National Christmas Tree--- it's the most energy efficient National Christmas Tree in history. The tree was outfitted entirely in LEds. It consumes 6,000 watts compared to last year's 18,000 watts. Green tree. I'm happy.
