2012 Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 7

The White House National Christmas Tree was lit last night, and it marks the 90th year of the annual lighting ceremony.  The tree is covered with white LED lights and stars, and surrounded by 57 smaller trees representing each State and U.S. Territory.


The first National Christmas Tree was lit in 1923 by President Calvin Coolidge.
