The President: Melania and I are
thrilled to be here today as we

00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:07,407
celebrate one of the nation's
most cherished traditions:

00:00:07,407 --> 00:00:11,177
the lighting of the National
Christmas tree.

00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:15,415
This is a sacred season that
begins 2,000 years ago

00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:17,851
when Jesus Christ was born.

6
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:22,088
This is a time of the year for
rejoicing with our family and

7
00:00:22,088 --> 00:00:26,559
friends, for spreading charity
and goodwill, and for giving

8
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:30,029
thanks for all of the
blessings in our lives.

00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:34,968
On behalf of Melania and myself
and the entire Trump family,

10
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:39,773
may this Christmas season bring
peace to your hearts, warmth to

11
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:44,310
your homes, cheer to your
spirit, and joy to the world.

12
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:45,812
Merry Christmas, everyone.

13
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:46,812
