The White House is as much a part of holiday celebrations as Santa Claus. Every year the residence of the President of the United States is adorned with Christmas decorations that delight the eyes of millions of visitors. This year, the White House has once again been transformed into a winter wonderland. From the trees to the garlands, the 2017 Christmas decorations are as festive and magical as ever.
This year's decorations pay homage to different aspects of American culture and history, reflecting the diversity and spirit of the nation. The theme for 2017 is "Time-Honored Traditions", showcasing a collection of classic holiday decorations hand-selected by First Lady Melania Trump. From the traditional red, white and blue ornaments to the classic gingerbread house, this year's decorations are sure to bring joy and cheer to all who visit the White House.
The main entrance of the White House is adorned with the official 2017 White House Christmas Tree, a 19-foot Balsam Fir that was grown in Pennsylvania. The tree is decorated with over 500 feet of blue velvet ribbon, which is embroidered with the seals of the President and First Lady. The tree is surrounded by wreaths and garlands of cranberries, popcorn, and white pinecones. The East Colonnade is also decorated with two 18-foot Christmas trees, each adorned with over 500 ornaments. The ornaments feature a variety of patriotic symbols, including stars, stripes, eagles, and state flags.
The State Floor of the White House is decked out in festive colors, with Christmas trees and decorations in every room. In the Cross Hall, a 30-foot tree stands tall, adorned with more than 1,000 ornaments and surrounded by garlands of cranberries, popcorn, and white pinecones. The Library is decorated with a Christmas tree featuring ornaments inspired by presidential pets, and the Grand Foyer features a Christmas tree with ornaments honoring U.S. armed forces. The Red Room is filled with festive decorations, including a traditional nutcracker and a miniature village.
Throughout the residence, classic Christmas decorations are featured, including candy canes, snowflakes, and angels. The White House also features a special exhibit showcasing handmade paper ornaments from the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The ornaments honor the courage of children who are battling serious illness, and will be given to these children as a special holiday gift.
The 2017 White House Christmas decorations are truly spectacular, and are sure to bring joy to all who visit the residence. From the grandeur of the trees to the special ornaments honoring our nation's heroes, the decorations reflect the spirit of the season and the beauty of America.
