singing O! Christmas Tree and other carols

On Sunday night, Jill and Pat and I (and sadly only my phone camera as you can see from the blurry picture above) walked down to the Ellipse to see the National Christmas Tree, the Yule Log, and the 50 State Trees. This had previously been attempted with Val and Ty, only the lights were already off by the time we got down there. so, we ventured down there a little earlier this time, and we were in luck. Not only were the lights on, but Jill was kind enough to sing us every Christmas song known to man during the walk down there. Oh what a melodic voice!
It was crowded and cold, but there was a nice little addition of toy trains running around the base of the tree — I don’t remember that from last year. And also a giant menorah, which you can kinda see in the left of the picture.
We wandered around to see all the necessary state trees (Maryland, DC, Pennsylvania for Pat, Alaska!, Iowa…) I guess those are the only important ones 
Oh and Delaware too! …Now we are in the true Christmas spirit! Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
