Michelle Obama welcomed the official White House Christmas tree for the last time as First Lady in a video posted by the White House. The tree, a 19-foot Balsam-Veitch fir from the Whispering Pines Tree Farm in Wisconsin, was delivered to the White House in a horse-drawn carriage per tradition. The tree was presented to the First Lady by Dave and Mary Vander Velden, who won the National Christmas Tree Association tree contest.
