It’s almost Thanksgiving, which means it’s time to start decorating for Christmas.
Melania Trump accepted the delivery of the White House Christmas tree. While it’s not quite as big as the Rockefeller Plaza tree, it’s still a very impressive evergreen.
Being the White House Christmas tree, this wasn’t just a regular old delivery. The tree was delivered by horse and buggy while the U.S. Marine Band played “O Christmas Tree,” AP News reports. The buggy was drawn by two horses named Cash and Ben.
The 18-and-a-half foot tall Douglas fir will be the centerpiece of the White House Blue Room. A chandelier will have to be removed from the room to accommodate the massive decoration.
The first lady, escorted by military aides, welcomed the horse and buggy at the White House’s entrance. She briefly inspected the tree before stopping to pose with the farmer that donated it.
Larry Snyder, owner of Mahantongo Valley Farms in Pitman, Pa., presented the centerpiece after winning an annual contest held by the National Christmas Tree Association. The contest has been held since 1966.
After accepting the tree, the first lady wished everyone a Merry Christmas before heading back inside.

A beautiful Christmas tree welcomed to the White House by a beautiful First Lady.
In the Obama era, was it called a Holiday Tree?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love our lovely FLOTUS! True Class and geace!
It’s a dirty shame that this gorgeous woman gets booed, harassed, and ignored while Obama’s husband gets his picture on all kind of magazines and receives warm receptions no matter where he goes.
But you could just say that Melania is getting the same treatment that just about any Republican first ladies got over the past years.
Doh!
Geace = Grace! (But you folks knew that!)

I know right!
Instead of a warm smile, all Chewbacca had was a scowl!
So happy Melania is our First Lady!
I can’t imagine how Melania can surpass last year’s Christmas decoration of the White House. Words fail; It was more than spectacular.
I know it was spectacular. If I recall there were a number of red trees as part of the decorations.
aaannnnddddd... many libtard heads explode.
From 2018 - "...White House Tourists Are Stealing Branches From Melania’s Red Christmas Trees"
She is beautifully fantastic. We are fortunate to have such a gorgeous 1st lady!
I thinks it’s great that John Kerry and Sarah Jessica Parker volunteered to pull the Wagon carrying the White House Christmas Tree.
The Holidays are a good time to cast our Political differences aside. Good for them.
LOL
.
God what a woman.
I came here looking for photos of the tree...
All I see is Melania...
Now, now, let's not be racissss. It offends the other primates.
Besides, have some compassion: Michael needs more padding in his bra.
