The run-up to Christmas has arrived and has officially been White House-approved.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden helped light the National Christmas tree last night as they participated in the nearly 100-year long tradition. The first lady looked festive for the occasion. She sported a wonderfully wintry ensemble complete with a buckled long red coat as well as a pair of black gloves, a matching scarf and black boots.

Morris made a case for fur trims. She wore a long blue leather coat with a belt tied at her waist. The collar and sleeves were lined with dramatic furry detail. For footwear, she doubled down on leather in long black boots with a thin heel for height.
