WASHINGTON — 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.
A horse-drawn wagon delivered the 20-foot Fraser fir, which will decorate the Blue Room. Jessie Davis and Russell Estes, owners of River Ridge Tree Farms in Crumpler, N.C., where the tree was grown, joined the first lady, along with their families. River Ridge also will provide about 25 smaller trees for the White House.
Bush said this year’s holiday decorating theme would be announced later this week. The Associated Press
