AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Texas House of Representatives is getting into the holiday spirit by installing a 23-foot Virginia pine tree in the House Chamber.

After a long trip down south, and a bit of muscle, the colossal symbol of the holidays stood tall in the House Chamber.
As part of its annual tradition, members of the House and their families will decorate the tree with lights and ornaments reflecting the distinct character of each Texas House district.
