The official CHRISTmas tree is the General Grant tree in Kings Canyon National Park.

So proclaimed by President Coolidge.

Attachments:

I have seen all the answers already, so I will just post a picture.

True

Kings Canyon California- A 267 foot tall redwood named " General Grant" Whew, got it in under the wire!! I had updated my browser to IE 11, and for some reason could not reply to posts for the last 4 hours. GRR- Had to finally rollback IE to a previous version !!

I can't add onto what has already been said and answered - True (never knew that before)

 

Can't show off any pics at the moment either except for me chin wagging here on iKC again :)

Nice looking handle material, "All That Glitters"...Nice pic Billy

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas in here

Answer to Day 2:  

True. America's official national Christmas tree is located in King's Canyon National Park in California. The tree, a giant sequoia called the "General Grant Tree," is over 300 feet high. It was made the official Christmas tree in 1925. 

******************On the third day of iKC Christmas*********************

Q: The story goes that Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer was originally written in 1939 as a department store jingle.  By whom and what department store.

Q: The story goes that Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer was originally written in 1939 as a department store jingle.  By whom and what department store.

Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward.[

May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, adapted the story of Rudolph into a song. Gene Autry's recording of the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart the week of Christmas 1949. Autry's recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year  So answer is Johnny Marks, Montgomery Ward

Picture coming

The dept. store was Montgomery Ward and it was written by Robert May.
