Secretary Salazar speaks ahead of the full lighting of the tree - you can jump to 6:30 to see it if you want to skip the speechies. The President speaks at 2:20

Behind large panels of protective glass, the President, joined by the First Family and Vice President and Dr. Biden, hosts the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on the Ellipse. December 3, 2009

2. even if you don't celebrate the holidays, its just beautiful. We drive

around once or twice a week at night in December just to look how creative some of these displays are.....just amazes me how the Human mind can make such beautiful things, yet some of these same Humans are so full of hate and prejudices, makes me want to leave this world except for me daughter and wife I probably would have checked out when I got out the Navy and lived on the streets for a while.
