A tree referred to as a "holiday tree" by Gov. Lincoln Chafee is lit up in the rotunda of the statehouse in Providence, R.I. Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2011. The Rhode Island Statehouse hosted dueling tree lightings as Gov. Chafee and Republican State Rep. Doreen Costa battle over whether to call the official state spruce a "holiday" tree or a "Christmas" tree. The governor's decision to call the tree a 'holiday' tree prompted Costa to bring her own tree to the capitol.
