As the holiday season approaches, many of us are scurrying around, looking for the perfect decorations to spruce up our homes. But what about the most famous home in the United States? Every year, the White House comes alive with festive decorations to mark the Christmas season. This year is no different, and the First Family has gone all out to decorate the White House for Christmas 2018.
From twinkling lights to the 18-foot tall fir tree, the White House is a winter wonderland like never before. Decorating the iconic building isn’t just a matter of adding a few festive touches here and there – it takes months of planning, with every detail carefully considered. The White House’s Chief Floral Designer, Hedieh Ghaffarian, is responsible for the incredible transformation of the White House into a magical holiday kingdom each year.
Ghaffarian and her team of volunteers have worked hard to create an enchanting atmosphere for the festive season. The theme for this year’s decorations is ‘American Treasures’, which celebrates the unique beauty and cultural heritage of the USA. The decorations feature symbols from all 50 states, as well as some of the country’s most iconic landmarks. The White House is adorned with over 18,000 ornaments, including everything from traditional nutcrackers to handcrafted snow globes and a larger-than-life gingerbread house.
The White House’s iconic red and green colour scheme is still present, but this year the designers have added some new touches. One of the most striking elements of the 2018 decorations is the addition of a stunning blue and gold palette. This regal colour scheme pays homage to the White House’s history and its former residents. The White House has also been decked out with lush greenery, including garlands of evergreen trees and wreaths adorned with ribbons and berries.
There are some traditional decorations that guests have come to expect, such as the beautiful nativity scene and the 18-foot tall fir tree. This year, the tree is covered in more than 500 feet of blue velvet ribbon, 500 ornaments, and thousands of LED lights. Another popular feature is the gingerbread house, which is made of 1,200 pieces of gingerbread and 150 pounds of icing. And, of course, no White House Christmas would be complete without Santa Claus himself – this year, he can be found in the Blue Room, which is filled with presents for children visiting the White House.
The White House is a special place at Christmas time. For visitors, it is a chance to experience the magic of the holidays, while for the First Family it is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future. From the intricate decorations to the festive spirit, the White House is a reminder of the joy and cheer of the season.
