Christmas tree arrives at White House by horse-drawn wagon

First lady Laura Bush kicked off the holiday season Sunday by standing out in the rain to receive this year's White House Christmas tree.


The 2008 White House Christmas tree arrived at the White House by horse-drawn wagon.

The 20-foot Fraser fir will decorate the Blue Room.

The tree came from River Ridge Tree Farms in Crumpler, North Carolina. River Ridge also supplied about 25 smaller trees for the White House, including the ones for the offices of the president and vice president.
