Melania Trump opened the holiday season in the nation’s capital on Nov. 25 by accepting delivery of the official White House Christmas tree.
Members of the U.S. Marine Band played “O Christmas Tree” as a pair of horses named Cash and Ben trotted up the White House driveway pulling a green carriage that carried an 18 ½-foot (5.49 meter) Douglas fir. The towering tree will become the centerpiece of Christmas in the White House Blue Room.
