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.

I want to adopt the kid who screamed STFU at her in the WH. This is priceless.

Tacky to say the least looks like something one would see in a garage.

“... I don’t get the spring/summer flowers at Christmas time. Seems odd.”
The Bidens are odd and that is putting it mildly.

Looks like somebody threw some stuff down and were too lazy to put it away. Even CNN didn’t show the big red boxes, but nothing “controversial”. (rolling eyes)

I like that one #6Me too. Really can't say I care for the rest but they may look better in person.

Re: Strip Mall.
Yep. The first thing that came to mind when I saw the big red boxes surrounding the doorway was, 'Marshall Field's at Christmas'...trying to sell us 'Red Door' (Elizabeth Arden) perfume, LOL!

Only a few words come to mind upon seeing these displays:
- Pathetic;
- Disgusting; and,
- Creepy...

In each of the public rooms of the White House — which remains closed to visitors due to the Covid-19 pandemic —
So we are paying to decorate rooms that are not open
to the public? Got to love democrats they sure know
how to spend your money.

Total barf. I Don’t care what happens to the vapid, soulless aspirant to the White House who was willing to prop up an old decrepit hulk of a failed man in order to start her political career.

To: Diana in Wisconsin
That is the tackiest thing ever!
How ironic...we’ve been hearing nothing but “too much consumin’ going on; expectations are too high” for ages as they blame US for high prices. Then they put up this ultimate display of rampant consumerism — countless HUGE presents.
Eff them all.
