+The Ellipse
+Washington, D.C.

+6:14 P.M. EST
+
+THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas, everyone! (Applause.) Merry
+Christmas.
+
+This Christmas tree lighting is one of my wife Jill’s favorite events,
+so she truly regrets not being here tonight. She’s on an international
+trip in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and Sicily to — in order to
+promote women’s health research. (Applause.) She sends her best wishes
+to all of you.
+
+And on behalf of Kamala and Doug — where are you, Kamala and Doug? You
+— (applause) — there you go. Welcome to the — on behalf of them,
+welcome to the National Christmas Tree lighting.
+
+Thank you, Mickey, all the artists who are performing tonight.
+
+A special thanks to the Jones family for their service and sacrifice and
+our military families. (Applause.) Tonight, they’ll help light this
+beautiful Christmas tree.
+
+Mickey, will you start the countdown?
+
+MS. GUYTON: All right, y’all. Let’s count down together, people.
+
+AUDIENCE: Five, four, three, two, one!
+
+(The Jones family light the National Christmas Tree.)
+
+THE PRESIDENT: Whoa! (Applause.)
+
+MS. GUYTON: Merry Christmas!
+
+(A choir sings “Joy to the World.”)
+
+THE PRESIDENT: Folks, as we gather here in President’s Park just
+outside the White House, a special thanks to the National Park Service
+and the National Park Foundation. (Applause.) I mean it.
+
+This 30-foot Red Spruce represents the spirit embodied in this year’s
+White House holiday theme, which Jill unveiled earlier this week. The
+theme is “A Season of Peace and Light” — of peace and light — the peace
+we feel as we pause and reflect on our blessing and the light — the
+light we see as we gather with loved ones that cherish our time
+together.
+
+During this season of reflection and renewal, many of us will sing “O
+Holy Night.” A phrase in the song is, “His law is love; His gospel is
+peace.” May \[My\] wish for you and for the nation, now and
+always, is we continue to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness
+and compassion, dignity and decency.
+
+Merry Christmas, America. Merry Christmas to all of you. And may God
+bless you all. (Applause.) And may God protect — may God protect our
+troops.
+
+Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Applause.)
