Blue Room Tree
Carefully selected from the Hill View Christmas Tree Farm in Middleburg, Penn., the Blue Room Christmas tree was adorned with more than 200 replicas of historic buildings from the 50 states and District of Columbia. First Lady Laura Bush chose "Home for the Holidays" as the theme, inviting artisans to choose a special historic house or place of worship to represent their state.
