According to U.S. House of Representatives historians, on December 24, 1913, “thousands flocked to the U.S. Capitol to celebrate Washington’s first ‘community Christmas.’
"The centerpiece of the festivities, a 40-foot Norway spruce Christmas tree located on the East Front plaza of the U.S. Capitol, was adorned with red, white, and blue electric bulbs.

"During the Christmas Eve celebration, the Marine Band played the national anthem, and in keeping with the spirit of community cooperation, Boy Scout troops assisted the Capitol Police with crowd control.”
