White House Christmas Tree Delivered In Green Horse-Drawn Carriage

Melania Trump is welcoming the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree.

The first lady stepped out on the North Portico of the White House Monday to accept the tree, a 18.5-foot-high Fraser Fir from Dan and Bryan Trees in West Virginia.

For the holiday kick-off event, Trump wore a black-and-white houndstooth coat, black gloves and matching black boots.

In festive style, the tree was delivered in a green horse-drawn carriage, decorated with wreathes and a sign in red font that read “White House Christmas Tree 2020” while Christmas music played.

After approaching the carriage, Trump walked around the tree to inspect it before speaking to the carriage drivers. She then posed in front of the fir for photos before waving to photographers and walking back into the White House.

“Since 1966, the arrival of the White House Christmas Tree has become an iconic holiday tradition,” she added, sharing photos of herself accepting the tree in previous years.

Trump stirred controversy earlier this year over comments she made about Christmas during a secretly recorded conversation by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who wrote the book “Melania and Me.”
