First Lady Jill Biden welcomed a Christmas tree at the White House that arrived from a farm in western North Carolina, which was recently hit by a devastating hurricane. The 18.5-foot Fraser fir tree was selected from Peak Farms in Ashe County, North Carolina, and was transported to the nation’s capital to kick off the holiday season.
The tree arrived at the White House in a horse-drawn carriage, where it was greeted by First Lady Jill Biden and her team of decorators. The tree will now be decorated and displayed in the Blue Room of the White House, a tradition that has been celebrated for over a century.
Peak Farms, the farm where the tree was sourced from, has faced challenges this season due to the impact of Hurricane Ida. Despite the devastation caused by the storm, the farm was able to provide a beautiful tree for the White House celebration, showcasing the resilience of the North Carolina community.
The arrival of the Christmas tree marks the beginning of the holiday season at the White House, with First Lady Jill Biden leading the way in spreading festive cheer. The tree will serve as a symbol of hope and unity during a challenging time, bringing joy to all who visit the White House this holiday season.
