President Trump and First Lady Melania held hands as they walked around welcoming the arrival of their Christmas tree and greeted visitors while posing for pictures.
According to CBS, Larry Smith, a North Carolina farmer, has his trees featured for Christmas at the White House after he won a national contest. The tree will be decorated and displayed in the White House Blue Room.
Smith’s tree, a Mountain Top Fraser Fir, was selected at his farm, located in Newland, North Carolina. Winners of the National Christmas Tree Association tree contest have presented the winning tree at the White House since 1966.
