A Lawrenceburg family has donated a 30-foot Norway spruce to serve as Kentucky's official Christmas tree.
Jackie and Joyce Gritton provided the tree in honor of their late son, Kevin.
Gov. Steve Beshear and first lady Jane Beshear have scheduled a lighting ceremony for Nov. 30.
The Beshear administration caused a stir among Christians last month by soliciting for a "holiday tree" instead of a "Christmas tree."
Some Christian leaders protested.
Beshear later said the evergreen would be called a "Christmas tree" and placed on the front lawn of the Capitol.
