This year the White House is decorated in snow white, cranberry red and gold but they haven't posted all the photos on the White House website yet. I'm guessing they're waiting until the White House Christmas special airs on HGTV this Sunday night. Still I found a few photos ....

This year's theme is "A Season of Merriment and Melody" — honoring holiday musical traditions. In the Blue Room, the official White House Christmas tree — an 18 1/2 foot Noble Fir from Washington state — is adorned with jewel-hued drums, violins, tambourines and even a tiny piano alongside red and gold balls. The tree was donated by John and Carol Tillman of Rochester, Washington. The Tillmans, who stayed in DC this week to help decorate the tree with 350 hand-painted ornaments shaped like musical instruments, also provided trees for the Oval Office and Camp David.

I was thrilled to see these beautiful and heavily flocked tress in the East Room... Months ago I started planning to have flocked trees and decorations this year.
