A crowd filled the Main Atrium at the Children’s National Medical Center on Thursday.

First Lady Melania Trump visited the hospital to spread holiday cheer. She read “The Polar Express” and answered questions from children in the audience.

The event included holiday music, dancing, and singing by several groups including the British International School of Washington Choir, The Georgetown Saxatones, and the Metropolitan School of the Arts. read more at WJLA.

Ten-year-old Andy asked the first lady where she would spend the holidays if she could go anywhere in the world. Her answer prompted laughter.

“I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, tropical island with my family,” she said.

Her favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night.” Her favorite family Christmas tradition is eating dinner on Christmas Eve before they attend midnight Mass or worship services on Christmas Day, followed by another family dinner. “On the 25th, Santa comes. We open the presents and spend time together.”

“Healthy food” is her favorite thing to eat for Christmas dinner. “You feel very good after. Not too much eating,” she said. “The most important part is to spend time with the family.”

So what does she want from Santa for Christmas?
