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.

BEAUTIFUL!
I am thankful Melania is our First Lady!
No, it's not.
But other than that, I'm sure it was a nice time for all. Cute coat. Does it have skulls? I like roses and skulls.
Oh look! It’s the coat that the TDS reporter called “macabre.”
Sheesh.
I love the coat!
Probably a Kwanzaa bush..
Thanks for the photos. FLOTUS is once again impeccable.
*SIGH*
Every DAY I love this woman more! So proud and happy that she’s our FLOTUS!
Merry Christmas! :)
“I can’t imagine how Melania can surpass last year’s Christmas decoration of the White House. Words fail; It was more than spectacular.”
She’ll do it! And the LefTard heads will explode and they’ll mock her and all Christians.
And she will ignore them and carry on with her Christmas celebrations, and so will we! :)
I love to see her smile. She brings radiance, beauty, and warmth into the ice cold halls of government.
