From AZ to DC, Follow the Capitol Christmas Tree

Now you can look at it all you want

Where is the Capitol Christmas Tree? It's no secret anymore.

Yes, what was once such a big secret that the U.S. Forest Service released a photo of some people looking at another tree in the same forest, is now available for all to see on Facebook and Twitter.

The tree's almost a rock star, with its own tour schedule, official website, blog (albeit one that is not up and running yet) and photo gallery.

What's next? A BlackBerry?

For the record, we're partial to the falling snowflakes and clickable candy canes at TracktheTree.com, which also tells you how far the tree's traveled.

The 85-foot blue spruce, which is taller than a 7-story building, was cut from Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. It's scheduled to arrive in Chevy Chase on Friday, Nov. 27, and will be presented to Congress on Monday, Nov. 30.
