These are only a few of the pictures that are available for the White House Christmas tree but are my favorites because of the beautiful trees and the first pictures of the White House Christmas Tree. We found it funny that Teddy Roosevelt didn't want to continue tradition because he didn't want to cut down a tree but his two sons managed to get a tree in the White House and hid it in the closet.
This will be the last official post from Norman as I finish up last minute details. Christmas Day will be spent at my son's less than a mile away to see my grandson open presents. Early morning on the 26th we head to Denver to celebrate a second Christmas with my two granddaughters. Will be great to see both of my daughters for Christmas. Then it is off to the Insight Bowl to see the Oklahoma Sooners play the Iowa Hawkeyes, relax for a few days and back to Norman the first week in January right after the Iowa Caucus.
Have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year in 2012! Enjoy the pictures from the various Presidents with the White House Christmas Tree!
