The 73-ft. Engelmann Spruce was in downtown Nashville Monday night on its 3,000 mile cross-country trek to Washington D-C. During the tree's Nashville visit local residents were treated to a special performance by country singer Lindsay Lawler along with ornament decorating and photo ops with Santa Claus himself.
