For the White House Christmas 2018 decorations, Melania Trump has decked the White House halls with the patriotic theme “American Treasures” recognizing America’s “unique heritage.

This is a joyous time of year when we decorate the White House for the Christmas Season,” the First Lady said in a statement of the approach to her second Christmas at the White House. “Our theme honors the heart and spirit of the American people. Thank you to the many volunteers and staff who worked hard to decorate the halls of the People’s House in Christmas cheer. On behalf of my family, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

Everywhere you look, there are trees. With some help from volunteers, this year’s festive decorations include more than 14,000 red ornaments hanging from 29 trees. There were also plenty of commemorative touches like a gingerbread house rendition of the National Mall: the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the White House.

President Donald Trump and Melania Trump will open the People’s House to visitors for a White House Christmas tour throughout the month of December. The White House will also welcome musicians, high school bands, choirs, and holiday-themed entertainers to join the festivities.
