And the Countdown Begins!

The 89th National Christmas Tree Lighting is almost here! Yes, I’m talking about the incredible, one-of-a-kind, can’t-miss, national event in President’s Park in our nation’s capital.
In case you missed the big news, we announced the complete talent line up this week! We’ve got Carson Daly, Rodney Atkins, Big Time Rush, OneRepublic, Ellie Goulding, Marsha Ambrosius, Kermit the Frog and more! And to top it off, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their family are going to officially light the National Christmas Tree. That’s right, it’s going to be a fantastic show!
In fact, here’s a little teaser to help get you even more pumped up:
If you can’t make it out to D.C. this year, don’t fret too much as you can always watch the LIVE webstream of the ceremony online at www.thenationaltree.org or on your local PBS station. Be sure to check your local listings for broadcast times.
We hope you’ll join us for the National Christmas Tree Lighting whether it’s in person, online or on T.V.!

I dedicated my tree this year to the National Parks. I began this year searching for unique, American made ornaments that would grace my family tree. I soon found out buying American made park ornaments wasn’t so easy. Most were made overseas and contained lead/lead products. Yikes! Didn’t want any part of that. I came across Inner Peace Designs, a small AMERICAN company that specialized in National Park ornaments! Though they don’t carry all of them the ones they do have are hand crafted Lead Free Pewter. I have searched high and low this entire year and nothing comes close to these. Check them and their park ornaments at innerpeacedesigns.net They also carry many Civil War ornaments that are sculpted and great additions to my holiday tree. If you haven’t done your tree yet, consider do what I did!
Happy Holidays to all!

Valuable information. Fortunate me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I’m surprised why this twist of fate did not took place in advance! I bookmarked it.
