President Trump may be unconventional, but his wife’s taste in Christmas decorations certainly aren’t. Over the weekend, hundreds of volunteers descended upon 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to fill every room with decadent and magical decorations, in line with 200 years of holiday celebrations that have taken place in the White House, according to House Beautiful. The first lady reportedly chose the theme “Time-Honored Traditions” for the holiday decorations. Take a look.
