Question of the day

As alluded to earlier, here we are again
Topical one (no not P Andrew) and hopefully easy.
What first took place in 1843 and most of us in the western world still do today?
 
OK sticking with the Christmas theme for all the SM B ah Humbugs out there.

Which US president was the first to put a decorated Christmas tree in the White House?
 
I'm gonna guess Lincoln (on the basis that I think Prince Albert brought Christmas trees into the English-speaking world in maybe 1850).
