Reading Time: < 1 minute

The White House showed off its Christmas decorations on Monday (November 27) under the theme, “Time-Honored Traditions,” designed by first lady Melania Trump.

They included a tree dedicated to military service members adorned with gold stars and patriotic ribbon, a gingerbread house depicting the south facade of the White House; and an 1866 edition of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.

“The President, Barron, and I are very excited for our first Christmas in the White House,” Mrs. Trump said in a statement. “As with many families across the country, holiday traditions are very important to us. I hope when visiting the People’s House this year, visitors will get a sense of being home for the holidays.”

On Monday, the first lady hosted children from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to participate in arts and crafts projects.

The U.S. Capitol also welcomed the arrival of its Christmas tree, which hailed all the way from Montana.
