"The decorations are up!" the first lady tweeted Monday morning. "White House is ready to celebrate! Wishing you a Merry Christmas & joyous holiday season!"
The First Lady's theme is "Time-Honored Traditions." A new touch this year are wreaths that hang from exterior windows with glistening wintry branches lining an East Wing hallway.
A fir tree in the Blue Room is decorated with ornaments from every state and U.S. territory along with a 350-pound gingerbread house which portrays a southern view of the White House.
The Trump family Christmas tree is decorated with a gold-toned bauble featuring the presidential coast of arms surrounded by a wreath of holly.
"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," says the White House Christmas card, framed on display and signed by President Trump, first lady Melania, and Barron, their 11-year-old son.
The White House said Mrs. Trump personally chose every detail in this year's decorations.
This is the Trump family's first Christmas at the White House.
The decorations are up! @WhiteHouse is ready to celebrate! Wishing you a Merry Christmas & joyous holiday season!
Thank you Silent Night Evergreens in Wisconsin for our beautiful tree! @POTUS, Barron & I are excited for Christmas in our new home!
