Hvor er juletræet placeret i det hvide hus?
Washington, D.C.
National Christmas Tree (United States)
Det nationale juletræ er et stort stedsegrønt træ, der står i den nordøstlige kvadrant af Ellipsen nær Det Hvide Hus i Washington, D.C. Hvert år siden 1923 har træet været pyntet som juletræ. Hvert år i begyndelsen af december bliver træet traditionelt tændt af USA's præsident. Alle præsidenter siden Franklin D. Roosevelt har fremsat formelle bemærkninger under ceremonien for tænding af træet. Siden 1954 har begivenheden markeret starten på en månedlange festligheder, der er kendt som "Pageant of Peace". Mindre træer, der repræsenterer de amerikanske delstater, District of Columbia og de fem territorier omkring det nationale juletræ, kaldes "Pathway to Peace" (vejen til fred).

The National Christmas Tree is a large evergreen tree located in the northeast quadrant of The Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. Each year since 1923, the tree has been decorated as a Christmas tree. Every early December, the tree is traditionally lit by the President of the United States. Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has made formal remarks during the tree lighting ceremony. Since 1954, the event has marked the start of month-long festivities known as the Pageant of Peace. Smaller trees representing the U.S. states, District of Columbia, and the five territories around the National Christmas Tree are referred to as the Pathway to Peace.
