Well I've been wondering, after I came across some of the White House Christmases since Brandon was propped up 'in office'.... Is there actually a reason for such underwhelming displays, or is it really that the Bidens have not seen Christmas decorations before?

Biden 'White House' Christmas 2023
Even I decorate a Christmas tree better than this (below); the candles on the tree look askew as if the tree fell over before being propped up and photographed. Ironically the reporter is speaking of the of the "grandeur and magnificence of the White House Christmas" as she comes out from behind this sad-sack Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. She's wearing ornate earrings and a tasteless evening gown as if she is at a gala event; it's odd how she and her spoken lines, glamorizing the non-event, clash with the Jill's appearance and the discount decor around her.
In the first 10 seconds of the video, the camera pans over the listless tree, and then the wilted, fading pointsettias to the left of the reporter.
Ooooh. Ahhhh. Beautiful? Really?
Sidenote: At the 1:52 second mark, the reporter appears to bow/curtsey upon meeting Dr. Jill!
Below, Covid-style spikey ball trees, aqua in color, were possibly never meant for the Christmas Holiday season to begin with. The decor tends toward infant/toddler curiosities - an idea you'd think the Hair-Sniffer in Chief's staff would have labored to avoid surfacing in the Brandon 'White House'.
Said staff must, for the same reason, be truly tone deaf to have included a child's bed, looking like a prop in a department store, in the decor. Don't they know the public prefers considerable distance between Brandon's Regime and the little ones?
Once again, the color theme looks to be "Christmas Aqua". In my opinion, some of the decor utilizes baby decorations in pink and blue, with a dark red addition and a few dog figurines.
I remembered images of Melania pouring over designer drawings of the planned Christmas decor for Trump's White House. The Trump Christmas were dazzling and memorable.
With Biden... there's this....this Pepto-Bismo Colonnade. I stare at it again in disbelief.
In my opinion there can be no real reason for this decor other than the fact that public funds which normally pay for designers and materials are not available to the Bidens. I don't even think the Brandons have access to the actual White House, but as they did on Inauguration Day, used a set instead. The reason(a) provided would naturally include 'national security' and 'credible threat.'
I think that the 2023 Christmas Decor looks like old Macy's Day parade float decor, or retail Christmas decor, some Easter/Thanks Giving Day trappings and/or Hollywood and theatre props. I also see 'Candy Land', 'Infant and Children's Department' or 'Baby Shower' decor repurposed for the 'White House CHristmas.'
Objects on display look almost symbolic, like business logos, in their lack of realism. They are meant to take the place of actual ornamentation, and it looks like no designer was involved in harmonizing their design, textures, colors and placement.
I searched "Who pays for Christmas decorations at the White House?" and was surprised to find that the decorations are usually re-used from warehouse(s) full of prior years' decor.
Trump goes big with White House Christmas, but who pays?
ByABC NewsDecember 20, 2017As for the yards of garland, ribbon and bows and other decorations, current and former White House aides said many pieces are reused.
“There’s a warehouse that has all the White House Christmas decorations from all the years, so what we’d do is we go in there and use those, and those are already bought and paid for,” said Deesha Dyer, who served as the social secretary during the Obamas’ final two Christmases at the White House.
So Brandon either spent additional funds to buy the visual miasma, ignoring the White House store houses of lovely, available decor, or visual miasma was part of the traditional White House decor used in prior years.
For the Brandon Regime's 2022 Colonnade Christmas decor, the theme seemed to be one of spiders' nests growing in a thicket. So was this elegant Christmas themed decor a new 'aquisition' for the White House storehouses, or have I just forgotten its display from previous years' White House Christmases (or Thanks Giving Parade)? I find myself wondering whether Jackie Kennedy was first to select these sticks-'n'spiders-nests Christmas decorations, or perhaps she preferred the Pepto-pink candy canes for the Colonnade? (do I need the sarcasm tag?)
So I don't believe the Bidens gained access to the White House storage facilities.
The Biden's lack of access to public funding, and the White House itself, could also explain why they hosted their first State Dinner in a tent outside in cold weather, wherein hot dogs and other picnic items were featured. No foreign dignitary had ever been 'honored' like that before.
These musings lead me to Jill Biden's ghastly fashion choices. Maybe there's a method in there. She didn't use to dress in a garish and strange manner, as far as I can recall. Here are two pics I grabbed as examples:

Maybe they had Jill dress like a bag lady in the run up to the Christmas holidays so that when you see naseating decor and watch bizarre 'dancers' cavort in the Pepto 'wonderland', and your reeling mind grasps for the eternal 'WHY?', you end up rationalizing, "Well I shouldn't be surprised that she trashed the White House Christmas decor with parade props, hot glue, and bad taste after seeing her dressed in fishnet stockings or wearing dresses made out of 1970'a upholstery.
To illustrate what I'm trying to get at here, I was going to superimpose First Lady Melania on that image of the Pepto-Colonnade, but I just can't. I can't do it. Nor could I face the task of putting an image of Jill into the lovely Trump era White House Christmas. But my point is, Melania would look out of place in the Biden White House Christmas landscape, but Jill and her hag rags would not. Maybe that's why Jill sometimes wears such laughable clothing in the run up to the Holiday Season? Wouldn't help explain Michelle Obama's 'style', but it potentially could explain the coming and going of Jill-as-hobo couture.
