Watch as the White House Christmas tree gets delivered to 1600 Pennsylvania in grand fashion — by horse-drawn carriage.

First Lady Michelle Obama greets the 18-foot Frasier fir from, ironically, Pennsylvania as Washington DC officially welcomes the holiday season into its district limits.

The evergreen will be decorated and displayed in the Blue Room of the presidential estate.

If you listen to the following footage closely, FLOTUS mentions to one of the handlers that the tree will be used to honor the United States military.

According to the White House Historical Association, Lou Henry Hoover gets the credit for starting the tradition (she was Herbert Hoover’s wife).
