62 Christmas trees, almost 125 kilos of gingerbread dough and thousands of lights: this year’s Christmas decorations have been unveiled at the White House. First lady Melania Trump, 50, wrote on Twitter Monday that the award paid tribute to America’s “greatness.” It is the last Christmas that the family of US President Donald Trump spends at the government headquarters in the US capital Washington before his term ends on January 20.

The official Christmas tree of the White House with its 5.5 meters fits just below the ceiling of the “Blue Room”, one of the three rooms on the first floor. Among yellow ribbons and garlands, it is adorned with pendants designed by students from different parts of the country.

The jewels in the “Red Room” are dedicated to the pandemic: ambulances hang from the tree, a replica of a supermarket on the fireplace, delivery services are also honored. In the banquet hall you can see a gingerbread house in the shape of the seat of government. Under the trees of the “Hall of the Cross”, which are mostly decorated with red balls, there are packages with the labels “Peace”, “Love” and “Joy”.

The First Lady personally selected “every detail” of the décor, the White House announced. A few weeks ago, recordings of a phone call between Melania Trump and her former friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff were released, in which the first lady complained in cordial words about the lack of interest in Christmas decorations.
