It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at the White House

An 18-year-old beauty is temporarily moving into the White House, but luckily President Obama won’t have to scare away suitors or set a curfew for this visitor. The new addition to the president’s abode will be a teenage Christmas tree.

 The 19-foot balsam fir was chosen on Monday from a farm in Wisconsin after winning a sort of countrywide arbor beauty pageant held by the National Christmas Tree Association.

 Dale Haney, the White House’s superintendent of grounds, told the organization’s website, “It’s really important that the tree has the right look and feel. I think we have a really great choice this year.”

 The holiday hardwood will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House beginning in November.
