Watch the National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony below when it starts.
We’re creepin’ up on Christmas (don’t tell Krampus) … and that means there’s gonna be a lot of lights. One of the more important (with all deference to yours, of course) is the National Christmas tree.
The lighting is slated to happen Thursday at the Ellipse at the White House.
