First lady Michelle Obama received the annual Christmas tree delivery at the White House on Friday, heralding the start of the holiday season.

Two horses pulled the nearly 20-foot fir tree to the front door of the White House late Friday morning as a small military band played the traditional carol “O Christmas Tree.”
