What does the White House look like at Christmas?
The White House definitely gets dressed up in holiday colors during Christmas. The theme changes every year depending on who’s decorating and I’m sure the President always has a say in what goes up. A large Christmas tree is always present in the main lobby and the evergreens outside are also decorated with lights. Below is a picture of how nice the Christmas decorations look in the White House:

Down the hallway, there were large toy drums filled with poinsettias the size of Shetland ponies. I don't know how they grow them that large. I'm lucky if mine make it to Christmas Eve without looking like they barely survived a nuclear blast. On the second floor, huge Christmas trees glistened in every room covered in "snow" and dripping with beautiful ornaments.
