Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton accepted the tree from Forest Supervisor Ted McArthur of the Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California, overseen by the U.S. Forest Service. "We are glad to have such a beautiful Christmas tree that all Californians and, frankly, all Americans can be proud of," Blanton said. This year's tree is an 84-foot white fir nicknamed "Sugar Bear." After being harvested on Oct. 23, it made stops at various communities along the continental U.S. on its way to the nation's capital. The Six Rivers National Forest said the motto for this year's donation was "Many Peoples One Tree." Over the next few days, the tree is expected to be decorated with LED lights and ornaments
