Speaker Nancy Pelosi lit the Capitol Christmas Tree last night, and then tweeted: 

Capitol Christmas tree (67 ft WY Engelmann spruce) is officially lit(with energy saving LED lights)!" ~ Nancy Pelosi via Twitter

But, whodathunkit -- the Capitol Christmas Tree doesn't need Nancy. It can tweet for itself.

"Thank you to all my fans and followers that braved the cold last night for my lighting. It was great to see everyone!" ~ Capitol Christmas Tree

"In case you missed the lighting ceremony, check out coverage on @CPSAN http://tinyurl.com/34oycfg " ~ Capitol Christmas Tree

"Are you at the lighting ceremony? If so, tweet, tweet"  ~ Capitol Christmas Tree

Tweet with the Capitol Christmas Tree and its tweeps yourself @TracktheTree.
