First lady Michelle Obama is kicking off the holiday season by welcoming the White House Christmas tree.

Mrs. Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha and first dog Bo greeted the arrival of a 19-foot Fraser fir from Peak Farms in Jefferson, N.C.

The tree arrived Friday on a horse-drawn carriage. It will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House.

The first lady says the tree is "perfect."

Of course there won’t be any religious ornaments allowed but I’m sure they will pull out the one with Mao’s face on it for prominent display.

I understand that in decorating the tree this year
a section of the tree from half way up to 3/4s of the
way will be completely covered in bulbs, making
a kind of Presidential Bulb Belt which the
First Wookie is known for...

You mean the holiday tree right? Or is it the Kwanzaa tree, because Jesus Christ is just an invention of white imperialists. Maybe we can blend in some ancient Canaanite religious tradition; light the tree on fire and throw in some aborted children.

I’m amazed that a Christmas tree was even accepted in this white house....after all there is no more “World Day Of Prayer”, Franklin Graham was removed from a Christian organizational event, and the grand Poobah has missed out for ,I think the 4th time, being present to greet the tree....well, no need, I think we know where his heart is....and it sure isn’t with a Christmas Tree.

I think we have those two dear daughters to thank for the fact that there even is a Christmas tree in the white house,

Momma Obama needs to quit worrying about what everybody eats and get her oldest daughter to stand up straight...

She’s inherited mother’s grace. Their grandmother seems like a nice woman. One would think that she would work on the girls a bit.

This is really a very informative article.

Before this I never knew that muslims put up Christmas trees.
