Michelle Obama kicked off her family's final Christmas season at the White House on Friday by receiving a 19-foot Balsam-Veitch fir from Wisconsin as the official White House Christmas tree.
Joined by two young nephews instead of her teenage daughters, the first lady said she's ready and excited for the holiday.

Mrs. Obama explained that the appearance by her nephews "is what happens when you get teenagers," referring to 18-year-old Malia and 15-year-old Sasha, the daughters who in past years have joined her for the tradition of receiving the Christmas tree on the morning after Thanksgiving.
"One's asleep," she said, gesturing toward the White House. "These two are up," she added, referring to the sons of her brother, Craig Robinson, who was visiting with his family for Thanksgiving.
Malia and Sasha also skipped their father's traditional pardon of a Thanksgiving turkey this week; Austin and Aaron subbed for them, too.

I’m sure it was cobblestone at one point. Lovely as it is, cobblestone is difficult and slippery. Modern asphalt or concrete is far superior as a road surface, even if the aesthetics aren’t.
The people from WI whose tree won the contest.
Next Christmas will be AMAZING at the White House.
What a mess
It will require a whole tanker load of disinfectant to make the White House habitable again
This is my, yours, and our house. With all the vacations the first family (God I hate typing that) have taken I guess there was not any funds left for simple repair.
Bet that crap is fixed in the first 100 days just like a lot of other problems.
Sharia and Malaria were at the mosque..
Beelzebama and Wookie, ready to return to the lake of fire..
Probably designed by the idiot that won’t design for Melania. She seems to specialize in plus sizes.
Lookout, moosechelle has her game face on, she is always angry.
Moosechelle barks out an order to delivery guy...”let er rip, I will catch the fool tree and carry it into the WH by myself”
Hey, it’s better than 95% of the stuff she wears.
Everytime the 2 princesses have to make an appearance for this kind of occasion they are sour faced. Glad they weren’t there, not that I watched any of it. They should have made them get out of bed and put a smile on their faces for once. Pitiful.
Sharia and Malaria were probably with their role model Beyonce learning how to dance like proper young ladies.
“Aw, mom. But we’re too cool for school!”
Her Krampus costume.
But *I* would look great in that, especially with the Dobes by my side and an albino Boa around my neck.
/accessories are everything
:D
I have thigh-highs.
:)
One is black, the other is part white.
You gotta laugh.
I’d love that outfit...if it were 8 sizes smaller.
:)
Hopefully Hillary’s court challenges will be done by then.
