Walker said Monday the evergreen decorated with ornate and decorated with a star in the center of Wisconsin's Capitol Rotunda Christmas trees, holiday not tree as it's been known for 25 years.

Approximately 30-foot-tall tree is called the first display of Christmas trees in 1916 until 1985. That's when politicians bowed to concerns about the Government support of religion and began to refer to as a holiday tree.
