Thank you very much everybody.
This is a great honor and it's something very, very special.
I also want to thank, for doing a fantastic job right from day one, thank you very much Secretary Zinke.
Today's a day that I've been looking very much forward to all year long.
It's one that we have heard, and we speak about and we dream about.
And now as the President of the United States, it's my tremendous honor to finally wish America and the world a very Merry Christmas.
I want to thank everyone who has come together here right in front of the White House.
That beautiful, beautiful White House.
And everyone watching from home to see the lighting of this incredible national Christmas tree.
For nearly a century through good times and bad, every president has taken part in this wonderful tradition.
