The national Christmas tree isn’t even in the top 5 best Christmas trees in DC. Some years it can be downright ugly.

The Capitol tree is always better than the National tree. The Canadian embassy usually has a nice tree outside. Oh, the Norwegian (I think?) tree in Union Station is great too.

Edit: I also recommend the Willard, which has amazing decorations plus live choral performances.

Yeah most years it’s ugly. They cover it with a black shroud usually for some reason

I feel like they're always in the process of dying, even though they're fully-planted, live trees. The previous one only lasted three years before getting some sort of fungal disease.
