The National Christmas Tree and the Pageant of Peace
|
|
For 81 years, the United States has held a tradition of lighting a National Christmas Tree in Washington, DC. In 1978, a live 40-foot Colorado blue spruce was transplanted from York, Pennsylvania to its present site on the Ellipse, the grassy area south of the White House. In 1954, a "Pathway of Peace," 56 smaller, decorated trees representing all 50 states, five territories, and the District of Columbia were planted surrounding the National Christmas Tree. For more information. This year Brown Brehm Bears is honored to adorn the "Pennsylvania Tree" with an Teddy Bear Ornament. In honor of the birth of baby panda, Tai Shan this year at the National Zoo, Kelly has created a "Panda Ornament". In addition to the orignal made for the "Pennsylvania Tree", Kelly has made 24 more pieces. One was presented to hang on the Christmas Tree at the Harrisburg State Capital, and another for her local musuem in Reading Pennsylvania. The ornament is 2 3/4 inches high and wears a ruffle collar. Limited Edition of 24. $145.00 US plus S&H Meet Tai Shan!
