    This photograph of the north view of the White House was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 20, 2023 prior to the arrival of the Official White House Christmas tree at the North Portico steps. The tree was delivered by horse-drawn carriage and carefully escorted to the Blue Room, where it remained on display for the holiday season. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden welcomed the 18.5-foot Fraser Fir from Fleetwood, North Carolina, along with the children of military families who were given the opportunity to touch the horses and tree and pose with it. Since 1966, the Christmas tree displayed in the Blue Room has been presented to the White House following a contest run by the National Christmas Tree Association. The winners of this year's contest were Amber Scott and Alex Church of Cline Church Nursery.
