It took more than 51 volunteers working practically around the clock since Thanksgiving to prepare and hang the 245 wreaths, 221 bows, 660 feet of garland and hundreds of ornaments on the 41 White House Christmas trees. Approximately 44,000 lucky tourists in groups of 10 or more will get to view the decorations and another 6,500 people have been invited to the White House for receptions during the holiday season.
There ya are ! A Festive, Friday Funkle :)
Since all of us are paying for this, and not get invited to attend the function - it is obscene, and a rip-off of all of those who have to pay for this abomination.
