Am I the only one who thinks this year’s White House Christmas tree is a little … gaudy? These sweet little trees, part of the annual Pageant (or Pathway) of Peace, though perhaps less regal, seem more personal and softly colorful. Flickr user philliefan_99 took this shot of some families strolling by last week, down the path that shows off 56 trees — one for each state, territory, and of course, D.C. I’m sure most would agree with the commenter, though: it would look even better with a few inches of snow. EXIF.
