The White House has a total of 17 decorated Christmas trees. Two are placed next to the famous portraits of George and Martha Washington in the East Room. They are trimmed with silvered-glass ornaments painted in red and fuchsia. Between them, recessed in the wall is an elaborate nativity scene.
This year’s official White House Christmas Tree is a Douglas Fir donated by the Botek family, owners of The Crystal Spring Tree Farm in Lehighton, Pa. The 18-foot, 6-inch tree stretches from floor to ceiling in the Blue Room. The branches are topped with snow, accented with red ribbons and decorated with crystals and iridescent glass ornaments.

Lovely pics of the decorated WH. And as usual, the gingerbread WH is a masterwork.
