Christmas Tree Lighting This Weekend at State Capitol


Invitation via Sen. Grothman's office:


CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING AT WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at your State Capitol as folks busily decorate the grounds in anticipation of all of the visitors that will be coming over the next several weeks! Remember Bing Crosby? -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcZAwoip5aY

The Capitol Christmas Tree will be lit during two performances of the Kiwanis Club Christmas Pageant at 4:15 and 5:15 p.m. this Sunday, December 4th. http://www.doa.state.wi.us/events_detail.asp?eventid=1147&locid=4

Video about this year's tree that comes to us from the Brule River State Forest:

Come early as Tours of the Capitol run from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday.

P.S. How nice it would be if a Church, civic organization, business or family stepped forward and sponsored a Capitol Nativity like they have in other states.

Communist Christmas Tree in the White House

Chairman Mao Zedong graces the presidential Christmas tree in our very own White House.  Another curiosity?  An ornament with Obama's face on....Mt. Rushmore?  It's there.  And more. Designed by Simon Doonan, the tree is an assault on family values and a tribute to communism.

These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago. Of course, Mao has his place in the White House.
