| Oregon ornament looks hand painted |
Today my husband and I went to Washington DC to see what we call the "National Christmas Tree." I think it's really called something else but the sign that's usually there wasn't present when we visited. The sign tells us where the tree is from (usually a different state each year) and what school(s) provided ornaments (mostly handmade) as well as the height of the tree. There was a definite "Oregon" theme to the ornaments so I think that's where the tree came from this year.

| Jesus loves everyone wagon wheel ornament |
This was my favorite ornament because it gets to the heart of Christmas. "Jesus loves everyone" is so true. He loves you! For more information on Jesus' love for you I recommend the site
www.peacewithgod.net and they have volunteers available to chat 24/7.

| Three-tiered wooden ornament |
I saw a couple of these neat hand-painted and three-tiered wooden ornaments. Of course, the tree is so tall that I could only see the ones near the bottom so there may be more.

| Cute Christmas doggies |
Based on the languages I overheard, there were people from all over the world visiting our tree and some locals even brought their festively dressed canine friends.

| National Tree zoom photo |
After we left the tree area the sun came out and I took this photo through some trees. I know it's not technically a good photo but I like the sunshine on the ornaments and thought you might too.
Thank you for visiting! May all your Christmas dreams come true!
