The White House Christmas tree gets cut down in the Colville National Forest in Washington State. The 88-foot Englemann spruce is on its way to Washington D.C. where it will be raised and decorated for the holidays. Along the way, the tree will stop Saturday, Nov. 9 from 9 to 11 a.m. in Heritage Square in Vancouver and then several other cities. The Forest Service selects a different tree from across the country each year for the Capitol Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, which began in 1964.
