First Lady Melania Trump officially revealed the 2018 Christmas White House on Monday as she and President Trump get ready to kick off a busy month of holiday festivities.
“This is a joyous time of year when we decorate the White House for the Christmas Season,” First Lady Melania Trump released in statement. “Our theme honors the heart and spirit of the American people. Thank you to the many volunteers and staff who worked hard to decorate the halls of the People’s House in Christmas cheer. On behalf of my family, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

"This year's theme, 'American Treasures' honors the unique heritage of America. Designed by First Lady Melania Trump, the White House shines with the spirit of patriotism. This home, held in trust for all Americans, displays the many splendors found across our great Nation," the White House Office of the First Lady describes. "In the East Wing, the Gold Star Family tree returns. Decorated by Gold Star families, this tree honors all our troops and families who have sacrificed greatly to protect our freedoms. Gold stars and patriotic ribbon decorate the tree and visitors are encouraged to write messages to their loved ones who are on duty or abroad on the digital tablets provided."

"As one makes their way through the Green Room, Americans are reminded of the country’s bounty and harvest. A variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains adorn the tree centered in the room, as well as the garland on the mantel. In the Blue Room, the official White House Christmas tree measures a soaring 18 feet tall and is dressed in over 500 feet of blue velvet ribbon embroidered in gold with each State and territory. Moving in to the Red Room, guests will be able to celebrate children through the décor, which displays ways in which children can excel in their own path," the description continues.
The State Dining Room is a celebration of our country’s national symbols, including the bald eagle, the rose, and the oak tree. The space is also host to this year’s gingerbread house, showcasing the full expanse of the National Mall: the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and, of course, the White House," her office said.
The White House is open for public tours during the Christmas season. The Christmas Tree lighting will be in the evening on Wednesday, November 28.

I don’t see Michelle’s condoms....
Your welcome.
Not a fan of the red tree cones at all.
Last year’s was beautiful and graceful and very tasteful...
This looks like the aftermath of a bloody battle with the red cannon balls piled round the tree trunks.
Probably appropriate given the mess the Democrats are making of everything in their hatefest, but no comparison to the elegance of last year.
Beautiful, graceful and stunning.
Christmas has been that bit extra more special since the Trump’s took over the WH. We had people who did not celebrate Christmas and accept Christ in their heart preciously. And I include the Obama’s , Bush ‘s and Clintons in that
Now that is truly beautiful
As is our first lady
Absolutely beautiful job done by our amazing First Lady
Such a welcome departure from the tacky classless and ugly decor that the Obama’s brought to the White House for every occasion. Primitive “art”
Amen.
Sure is.
By primitive art...you mean “jungle art”?
That’s exactly what they have been saying - that the trees are dipped in blood. They said last Christmas, which was predominantly white, was a symbol of white nationalism.
I cannot believe how hateful these jerks are to our beautiful first lady. I urge everyone to send Mrs. Trump a card or letter expressing your admiration and gratitude for her graciousness, charm, intelligence, and courage. She has endured so much and has responded with grace and dignity.
