There is usually one inside the White House, and one outside somewhere. Do you suppose this 18 foot tree is the one inside?
Yes, the eighteen foot tree is inside the Whitehouse and just short of touching the ceiling. Last year snugs sent me a DVD of "Christmas at The Whitehouse" and it showed them decorating the tree inside as well as all the other preparations such as decorative pastry. After I watched it I gave it to a friend who entertains a lot of children.
