First Lady Michelle Obama receives White House Christmas Tree

Staff Reporter | Posted November 29, 2009 12:05 PM

First Lady Michelle Obama, along with daughters Sasha and Malia, presided over the official arrival ceremony of the White House Christmas tree on Friday.

While a band played "Oh Christmas Tree," the indoor tree was delivered to the north portico of the White House residence by traditional horse drawn carriage.

The 18 ½ ft Douglas-fir comes from Shepherdstown, West Virginia and will be on display in the Blue Room throughout the holiday season.

Asked if it was the biggest tree they'd ever had, Mrs. Obama replied: "Yeah, I think this wins.

I sure hope the President calls this tree what it is "A CHRISTMAS TREE" IT'S NEVER BEEN CALLED A Channuka tree, or anything else, "CHRISTMAS TREE" is what it is.

in response to tf !!! i think she dresses fine.is its not the $500.00 pant -300.00 shirts@its the $$ that is spent for appearence and at white house parties , that is shameful. when so many people are out of jobs . which has gone on for so long in white house parties. for one evening gown can feed 100 family,s. so if the first lady michele oboma choises to dress as you say poorly!!i say to our first lady, you dress wonderful @ someday i hope to meet you in person.

Jessie; I think he should call it what he wishes. This is a free country ya know. @TF At least she does not look like a farmer's wife -- like Laura Bush They made their money, they can dress as they wish. They bring refreshing style that has long been lacking in the White House.
