Congressional offices decorate for Christmas, don reindeer antlers

{mosads}Schweikert wasn’t the only one doing some Christmas decorating this week. 

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) tweeted Tuesday that he just put the “final touch” on a 12-foot fir now on display in his Capitol Hill office.

Just put final touch on our 12-ft Fraser fir from Grayson Co. For info on Virginia Christmas trees, click here: 1.usa.gov/WEcQzm

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will also light the Capitol Christmas Tree on Tuesday night at 5 p.m on the lawn west of the Capitol dome. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) tweeted that he is particularly excited to participate because the tree, a 65-foot Engelmann spruce, was shipped from Colorado.

Proud to help light the @capitoltree2012tonight! The 73 ft #CapitolChristmasTree2012 from #Meeker is a beautiful representation of #CO.
