White House Christmas Tree is Dead, and Protesters disrupt Capitol Tree lighting (and get arrested).
The White House Christmas Tree, a living tree planted just outside on the Ellipse, is dead. Disease ravished the tree so the Park Service decided for the first time in 50 years we would have a cut Christmas tree as the National Tree. That was all well and good, until the winds kicked up and blew that tree over. I was there as workers tried to pick it back up, but then I went over to the US Capitol to catch the tree lighting with the Speaker of the House. But that was disrupted by some Gaza Palestine protesters, who were quickly arrested by the US Capitol Police.
How was your day?
Show not Tell.

PenguinSix is an apolitical guy in a political town who likes to walk a lot. He has hiked over 17,000 miles (27,000kms) in the past six years and is still walking today. He is an American expat who spent the last decade in Hong Kong with his family and is now back in Washington DC, continuing his daily ritual of taking very long hikes around the city catching the sights and sounds of the city while live streaming to share with others. History, culture, life as an expat (with reverse culture shock), and the pitiful Chinese food in Washington DC are regular topics of discussion.
