A '''"Christmas tree bill"''' is informal nomenclature for a [[bill]] on the [[United States Senate|Senate]] [[floor]] that attracts many, often unrelated, floor [[amendment|amendments]], or [[rider|riders]]. The amendments which adorn the bill may provide special benefits to various groups or interests.<ref>[http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/christmas_tree_bill.htm] US Senate Reference</ref>

An example is the National Defense Authorization Act; since the bill is a must-pass issue, as it provides for funding for [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]], members of the [[Democrat]] party have tried to tag the bill with various other amendments supporting the [[homosexual agenda]].
