Dr. Biden Greets Guests at 2022 White House Christmas Tree Arrival

This photograph of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden greeting the Shealer family at the 2022 Official White House Christmas tree arrival was was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 21, 2022 on the North Drive of the White House. Dr. Biden welcomed the 18.5-foot Concolor Fir from Auburn, Pennsylvania alongside her grandson, Beau Biden, Jr. The tree was presented by Paul and Pam Shealer, the 2022 National Christmas Tree Association's (NCTA) champion growers, and cultivated at the Shealers' Evergreen Acres Tree Farm in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The tree was delivered by horse-drawn carriage and carefully escorted to the Blue Room, where it remained on display for the holiday season. 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.
