#December 24, 1889
#OTD The 1st #Christmas #Tree graced the #WhiteHouse.
Despite calls of #Frivolousness, the #President insisted the #Gardeners find the #Perfect tree.
After the tree was installed in the #Library over the #BlueRoom, the gardeners watched the #FirstFamily add #Tinsel, #Candles, & #Presents to the #Branches.
On #Christmas #Morning, #Baby #Benjamin, #Favorite #Grandson & #Namesake of #President #Harrison, delighted in his #LambOnWheels & #JackInTheBox.
