First Lady Melania Trump entered the political realm for the first time last year when her husband won the presidency. Since then, she has been forced to keep up with the fast-paced duties and responsibilities of being the First Lady.
She has traveled the world and back and often times her husband is tremendously busy leading the country, so what did she ask for this year for Christmas?
More time with her family.
Check it out, via Washington Examiner:
“I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, a tropical island, with my family,” Trump told a group of children during a question-and-answer session while visiting the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
She was asked by one of the children about her favorite family Christmas traditions.
Melania answered, “Our favorite tradition is that Christmas Eve, we have a dinner and go to midnight mass, or a Christmas day mass the next day. And then another family dinner. And Christmas, on the 25th, Santa comes, we open the presents and spend time together.”
She then added that her family enjoys eating healthy foods for dinner and “the most important part is to spend time with the family.”
The First Lady said she was grateful to have visited and shared a video:

According to Washington Examiner, Melania was asked if there was anything specific she was asking Santa for this year.
She replied, “Peace on the world, health, love, kindness.”
The First Lady’s comments were made while visiting the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., a 60 year tradition of presidential wives.
Before she left for the children’s hospital, she tweeted, “On my way to @childrenshealth to read a Christmas book and visit with some of the brave patients. Please keep all who are struggling with health issues in your thoughts & prayers this holiday season.”
