""Golden Origins" is the title of this lustrous holiday tree created by Dutch couture designer David Laport. The towering beauty-inspired by the designer's latest golden-hued collection-can be spotted in the Riggs Washington DC hotel lobby. After you catch a glimpse of the handcrafted pleated ornaments, stop by Cafe Riggs to taste the seasonal drink pairing, a Golden Mule-Tide. Dating back to the '90s, Norway and the US have commemorated their strong friendship with the lighting of a Norwegian Christmas tree."
"The lofty tree graces the train station's Main Hall, with mini flags honoring both Norway and the United States. In addition to the festive sapling, there are massive wreaths around the facade of the station, free concerts from string performance groups, a holiday market to shop local vendors, and the 1908 Holiday pop-up bar. For more than 50 years, the Forest Service has kept up the tradition of supplying the legislative building with a tree from a different state."
"This year's trunk is a red fir hailing from Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. You can view the People's Tree shimmering on the West Lawn until the New Year. From 10 AM to 10 PM every day on the Ellipse, spectators can explore 58 decorated trunks along the Pathway of Peace encircling a towering holiday tree. The ornaments are one-of-a-kind-they're designed by students from each state and territory."
