YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve with NORAD:

A sure sign of the holidays in Washington is here: the lighting of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.

Each year, a different national forest is chosen to provide a tree.

This year's tree is an 80-foot-tall Noble fir from the Willamette National Forest in Oregon.

It traveled some 3,000 miles over three weeks before arriving on the Capitol's West Lawn.
