First Lady Jill Biden Welcomes the 2024 Christmas Tree to the White House
Washington, D.C. – Today, First Lady Jill Biden delivered remarks at the 2024 Christmas Tree Arrival Ceremony on the North Lawn of the White House. The tree, a 78-foot-tall Concolor fir, was harvested from the George Washington National Forest in Virginia and transported to the White House by horse-drawn carriage.
In her remarks, Mrs. Biden spoke about the significance of the Christmas tree as a symbol of hope and unity during the holiday season. She also thanked the National Park Service and the volunteers who worked to bring the tree to the White House.
“This tree is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope,” said Mrs. Biden. “It is a symbol of the resilience of our nation and the spirit of unity that brings us together during the holiday season.”
The First Lady also spoke about the importance of spending time with loved ones during the holidays.
“The holidays are a time to cherish the moments we have with our families and friends,” said Mrs. Biden. “They are a time to reflect on the year that has passed and to look forward to the year to come.”
Mrs. Biden concluded her remarks by wishing everyone a happy holiday season.
“I hope that this tree will bring joy to all who visit the White House this holiday season,” said Mrs. Biden. “Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Biden family.”
The Christmas tree will be decorated with ornaments made by children from across the country. The tree will be lit for the first time on December 1st during the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
The Christmas tree arrival ceremony is a long-standing tradition at the White House. The first Christmas tree was brought to the White House in 1856 by President Franklin Pierce.
