The 2009 White House Christmas tree is an 18.5-ft. Douglas fir. It was grown in Shepherdstown, W.Va.

The tree is lit with environmentally friendly LED lights and decorated with more than 800 ornaments from previous White House Administrations.

The ornaments on the Douglas fir in the Blue Room were sent to community groups around the country for refurbishing, with instructions to decorate them with favored American landmarks. They now honor the Statue of Liberty and the Kennedy Space Center, among others.

These two Fraser firs are decorated with red ribbons and cranberries and stand in gilded Versailles boxes.
