Without joy and traditional celebration with family, no holiday season ends well. And Christmas celebration never starts without the Christmas tree, and witnessing the President's Park's Christmas tree lighting in Washington D.C. is the most joyous occasion in American Christmas traditions. This tradition has been followed for over 100 years, and it is good to say that the entire nation looks forward to it every year.
