A golden tree ornament is displayed on the Langley Air Force Base holiday tree during the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Dec. 1, 2022. The annual U.S. tradition of lighting a national tree dates back to Dec. 24, 1923, when President Calvin Coolidge pressed a button that lit up more than 2,500 light bulbs strung around a balsam fir tree.
