DECEMBER 5, 2000

The closest thing to an Indian Santa showed up in Washington, DC, on Monday.

But it was really Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo). And instead of toys, he delivered a 65-foot Christmas tree to Capitol Hill yesterday.

The tree was a gift from Colorado's Pike National Forest. Campbell drove it to DC himself, along with a Mack truck driver, the company who donated the use of the truck.

It will be lit on December 13.
