There are a few at this site...puke I'm dreaming of a White House Christmas: Michelle Obama shows off her lavish decorations

[Kaslin]

She really overdone it with those big ribbons, didn’t she?

[SuziQ]

Most of the decorations are not bad, though I don't like the mustard-gold of the ribbon on the first tree. A more metallic gold would have looked nicer, IMHO. ;o) I do like the Winter Wonderland trees, and the natural materials on the mantels.

Even though they are pretty, the decorations look a little sterile to me. It seemed, in years past, that there were more little things stashed around that denoted Christmas, and those seem to be missing. Even the marzipan White House looks sterile to me; not sure why. Did past candy houses have wreaths on the windows, or colorful decorations of some sort?
