Military family to decorate Colorado Christmas tree

DENVER – A military family will be joining Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien for holiday festivities and Christmas tree decorating at the Capitol on Tuesday.

The theme for this year’s holiday decorations at the Capitol is “Colorado’s Proud Names and Faces” and will honor members of the military.

This year’s state tree is a lot smaller than those in years past when giant firs cut from state forests stood in the Capitol. That’s because new security doors at the Capitol limit the size of trees that can fit through.
