The White House unveiled its holiday decorations on Monday, going along with the theme selected this year by first lady Jill Biden, who titled her inspiration "Gifts from the Heart."
East Wing communications director Elizabeth Alexander told CNN the idea for Biden's theme was to showcase "things that unite and heal, and bring us together." Biden and the East Wing began planning for the holiday decorations in early summer, narrowing the ideas and beginning to visualize how it would come to fruition.
In each of the public rooms of the White House -- which remains closed to visitors due to the Covid-19 pandemic -- there is an individual representation of the theme. The Library Room, with decorations of butterflies, reflects the "gift of learning," while the Vermeil Room notes the "gift of the visual arts" with Christmas wreaths made of paint-dipped paintbrushes and a tree of Pantone color sample ornaments.

Cheap and tasteless. Looks like something you see in a strip mall.
“PINE-ING FOR MELANIA Jill Biden’s White House Christmas tree slammed as ‘ugly’ as snowflake lights compared to Melania Trump’s dramatic decor”
Did she find a neglected warehouse full of 30-year-old decorations left over from when Zayre went out of business?
Love the Reagan portrait. The rest? Meh.
I think it looks nice. Job well done.
THIS is ugly.
Now, if we put Melania’s Christmas decor next to Jill’s and Moochelle..................no contest.
Dear Diana, it is difficult even to compare Jill (rhymes with pill) to Melania. We had a moment of grace, decorum and warmth.
Sigh, I miss her as much as President Trump.
Have a Merry Christmas, D.
That package theme is strip mall tacky.
I suppose the paint can/colored pencils/color swatch is supposed to be teacher/education themed. Mostly, it’s just unimpressive and unoriginal.
LOL 🤣🤣
Those decorations are a swing and miss Dr. Jill.
I like that one #6
Jill says, “Dammit, I am a doctor not a decorator.”
I wouldn’t go to this site because it has loads of pop-ups and ads showing up in the middle of reading the article. It is horrible!
As a flower farmer and designer, I don’t get the spring/summer flowers at Christmas time. Seems odd.
Tacky
If I knew they were using old paint cans, I would have sent them the ones in my garage and saved me a trip to the hazardous waste reclamation center.
