Kicking Off The Christmas Season At The Texas Capitol
This morning I helped kick off the 2016 Christmas season at the Texas Capitol by receiving Christmas trees that will soon deck the Capitol’s halls.
Three seven-foot Virginia pine trees arrived at the Capitol by horse-drawn carriage, with one each going to the Governor, House, and Senate. The trees are from Spring Creek Growers, a family-owned farm located in Montgomery County, Texas, and were delivered by Spring Creek Grower’s owner Carla Jones and members of her family. Carla is also the President of the Texas Christmas Tree Growers Association. In addition to these three trees, the House and Senate Chambers will each feature 25-foot tall trees, which arrived at the Capitol earlier this week.
It is indeed the most wonderful and magical time of the year, and I know that these beautiful Texas-grown Christmas trees will bring joy and cheer to all who visit the Texas Capitol this season!
