National Christmas Tree (United States)
National Christmas Tree är ett stort vintergrönt träd som står i den nordöstra kvadranten av The Ellipse nära Vita huset i Washington, D.C. Varje år sedan 1923 har trädet dekorerats som en julgran. Varje år i början av december tänds granen traditionellt av USA:s president. Alla presidenter sedan Franklin D. Roosevelt har gjort formella anmärkningar under granens tändningsceremoni. Sedan 1954 har evenemanget markerat början på en månadslång festlighet som kallas Pageant of Peace. Mindre träd som representerar USA:s delstater, District of Columbia och de fem territorierna runt den nationella julgranen kallas för vägen till fred.
