I always think the Bushes got the twins names mixed up. Jenna looks like the (Barbara) Bush side of the family, and Barbara looks like the (Jenna) Welsh side. Their personalities match their looks. :-)

The one outside is live and there year round.

They also said it only has a transmission area for about half an inch.

[ilovew]

Lol! True...she probably doesn't like President Bush either. Isn't he another reason the world hates us? *rolling my eyes*

[snugs]

Correct the last one is Jenna but the girl on the left is not Barbra.

[ohioWfan]

I completely agree. Spunky, feisty, Bush-looking Jenna and mellow, soft-spoken Welch-looking Barbara.

They got inverted names.

[speekinout]

Oh, yeah. The one on the Mall is always huge. I don't know how big it will be this year, but they use a crane to lift the ones chosen to light it.

Then there's another place they plan to put that Washington State tree and we'll find out where later!

[snugs]

When a lot of camera produced square photos we used to have plastic cubes similar to that in Britain so you could put photo in them and turn them over back and forth like a dice and have a difference picture on each side.

:0)

[ohioWfan]

Yes..........we see photos every time he travels overseas of how much people hate him, don't we? LOL!

[tommix2]

Then where will the tree from WA be put?

[ohioWfan]

Yeah..........it's no wonder the Ambassador wants these ugly representatives of the U.S. out of Argentina. LOL!

[snugs]

I agree Barbra looks sophisticated and Jenna looks the sporty type as well which goes with the personality thing I think.

Somehow to me that the name Barbra seems more ladylike and Jenna seems more tomboyish ignoring the family significance of the names.

What do others think?

[GretchenM]

No idea but I'm going to keep a sharp eye on the subject because I remember that report and saw the photos about the Washington State tree.

BTW, I've got four inches of snow here and more is supposed to be on the way. That's probably no big deal where you live, tm, but hey, it's news here!

Spunky, feisty, Bush-looking Jenna and mellow, soft-spoken Welch-looking Barbara.

A great description. Just what I was getting at!

[ilovew]

Lol and in this country too. Remember all those pics of booing crowds during the campaign? ;)

Here is an example of this from 2004

After placing a star on the National Christmas Tree, Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, participates in the annual Pageant of Peace tree-topping tradition with Peter Nostrand, chairman of the Christmas Pageant of Peace program, right, and her three grandchildren (from left): Elizabeth Perry, 7, Grace Perry, 4, Kate Perry, 10, on the Ellipse near the White House Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2004. The 81st lighting of the famous tree takes place Dec. 2, 2004. White House photo by David Bohrer

No, there's no permanent tree on the Mall. The Christmas tree is hauled in each year. I'm almost certain that it will be from WA this year.
