“That’s very purposeful, very intentional,” said Biden’s communications director, Elizabeth Alexander. “It’s important for the first lady that people see themselves in the decor.”
For their second Christmas in the White House, Biden continued her aim for a homier, more approachable decoration style than her predecessor, Melania Trump. The East Colonnade, known during Trump’s time as, is decorated to look like a wintry birch forest, with round white ornaments and crystal droplets hanging from the ceiling, and fresh snow on the ground. Handmade woodland creatures — a fox, a deer and an owl made of recycled cardboard and fabric strips — pop out for a look.
The official White House tree, an 18½-foot concolor fir from a farm in Pennsylvania, reaches from floor to ceiling in the Blue Room, decorated with handmade birds from all 50 states as well as the six U.S. territories and D.C. Re-creations of First pets Commander and Willow , wrapped in red scarves and sculpted from papier-mâché and recycled products such as burlap and fabrics, also greet guests as they exit the East Colonnade. A cheekier version of the Bidens’ German shepherd appears in the “Kindness and Gratitude” themed Vermeil Room, peeking out of a wrapped gift box while Willow rests nearby.
A new menorah, constructed of wood removed from the White House during the Truman-era renovation in the 1950s, now graces the Cross Hall, where the Marine Band was playing holiday favorites near an arch of gold glass balls. and there were crackling fires throughout the mansion. The rooms, which smelled like fresh evergreens, were filled with shooting stars and peace doves. The gingerbread house honored the country’s front-line workers, depicting a hospital, police station and fire station.Each first lady puts her own spin on the holidays with themes, greens, garlands and insider stories reflecting both the times and their personalities.
Wonderful
genuinely thought that said hornier
Our tax dollars at work. Sad that we the people are unable to do the same to our homes. Thanks to the Bidens.
I think you mean strike a more human note
Definitely less creepy than the Blood Red Christmas
Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Will they invited their disowned and unrecognized grandson that Gregor crackhead son Hunter has with a stripper?
StephenBright So much better than the Devil red trees of you know who.
Wow… 3 straights posts about an expensive decoration. Meanwhile….
Hope Ashley parker was invited.
I must note that First Families who have dogs have more compassion and love in their hearts for others. Our First Lady has memorialized the First Pup and the First Kitty Cat, and it has been obvious how much they are a part of the family and greatly loved.
Perfect! In such good taste. Just like everything our First Lady touches. The First Lady has good taste to a fine point and does not miss a beat. Each room/area pays attention to detail & honors those memorialized with great emphasis on our fighting forces. Thank you, First Lady!
It is so refreshing to have a FLOTUS who doesn't decorate our nation's Whitehouse like a brothel

White House denounces Trump's dinner with white nationalist Nick FuentesA spokesman for Pres. Biden is sharply criticizing former President Donald Trump for having dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago club last week. One would think Joe had more important things to focus on rather than being Gladys Kravitz. Joe had dinner with Klaus Schwab. I want a denouncement. Why aren’t you bringing this up in News, ABC? Continue to cover for this corruption. Taxpayers continue to pay sending money outside our country!
