Christmas preparations are in full swing at the White House, and they sure are a lot more involved that what goes on in most houses, which usually involves dragging the tree out of storage and flinging a bit of tinsel around.
Melania Trump and son Barron joined in an old-fashioned tradition of receiving the official White House Christmas tree, something that the first lady of the house does every year, though Michelle Obama had trouble dragging her teenagers out into the cold for the festive event last year.
Melania and Barron welcomed a 5.9 metre- (19 foot 3 inch) tall Christmas tree, which arrived at the historic building by horse-drawn carriage as a military quartet played holiday tunes.
The first lady dressed in a festive red turtleneck for the occasion, matched with a plaid coat and black stiletto boots, while Barron, 11, looked dapper in a dark suit coat and black trousers.

Melania posted a video on her Twitter account showing a team of 10 men moving the massive tree inside, while her Instagram account had multiple photos of her adding baubles and miniature stockings to the tree. Unsurprisingly, none of the decorations resembled the paper-chains and hand-me-down or family keepsake baubles that many people have in their home at Christmas.

That’s because the first lady and her husband, President Donald Trump, are gearing up for far more guests than most of us accommodate over the festive season – even those of us with big extended families!
The Christmas tree arrived earlier than usual because the Trumps will be spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Florida.
While they’re away, volunteer decorators and florists from all over the country will be spending the holiday weekend decorating the 132-room mansion for Christmas. The US president and his family will be holding more than a dozen parties leading up to Christmas, and as a result the White House kitchen will be busy preparing food and desserts.
President Trump will light up the National Christmas Tree on Thursday,
Do you enjoy decorating your home for Christmas? Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?
...and no condom ornaments.

I am getting SO tired of this snarkiness.
Most people don't use paper chains so much, unless they have little ones who made them. And how does this source know she isn't using some family keepsake baubles? They may have a private tree that's full of paper chains and family heirlooms. Btw, why would she use precious family heirlooms when she knows they would be immediately trashed by all of the haters..
As for the number of guests, I am sure they will be invited for important reasons. Friends, family, members of Congress, etc. It creates good will.
What is wrong with these people? Have they looked at their 401K statements recently? I just do not understand the vitriol.
Whatever you do, Madam First Lady, don’t ooen that plastic tote the Clintons left in the attic. It’s full of condom and crack pipe and sex toy ornaments.
My God! So ugly in this dress. Does she have any taste in clothes?
Her poor posture and lumbering walk detracts from her appearance.
She looks like a burlap Christmas tree in that green sack.
Or penis ornaments like when Hillary was there
A dress doesn’t turn a man into a woman.
So, the US seemed to be the most progressive and liberal country in the world while the previous POTUS was in the office. A black gay president! Had he been transgendered it would have been perfect.
Thankfully images from Christmas Past!
Oh, it’s just something she saw in the window.
I just love, love, love how Melania has slowly become so comfortable and confident in her role as FLOTUS! It had to be terrifying at first, and you could kind-of see it, but now she’s having fun with it and is just about perfect.
I think I saw the change beginning at the Melbourne rally when she was wearing the gorgeous red dress and said The Lord’s Prayer.
I like her in that green dress. She needed to stick with structured, non-patterned/printed clothes. It was her multiple pattern/print/fabric/color looks that were so horrible, along with the tiny sweater/huge belt look that didn’t work for her either.
