President Obama along with First Lady Michelle Obama were on hand tonight to light the White House National Christmas Tree. Actor Neil Patrick Harris hosted the ceremony that lasted a little over an hour and Malia and Sasha Obama, along with Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson were all on hand at the 90th celebration. The annual tradition also included singing from Jason Mraz, Ledisi, James Taylor, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Colbie Caillat and Phillip Phillip and book reading from Modern Family’s Rico Rodriquez. Pres. Obama noted to a crowd of over 17,000 guests, ”We’ve been lighting the national Christmas tree for 90 years, in times of war and peace, trial and tragedy. We always come together to rejoice the Christmas miracle.”
