This year’s theme is the “magic, wonder and joy” of Christmas time through the lens of children. Throughout the White House grounds are 98 Christmas trees, almost 34,000 ornaments and 72 wreaths.
A winter wonderland has arrived at the White House, as first lady Jill Biden unveiled this year’s decorative theme for the Christmas season on Monday.
The theme, “Magic, Wonder, and Joy,” is inspired by children’s experiences of the season: “completely present in the beauty and bounty around them, their senses alight, with hearts open to the magic, wonder, and joy of the holidays,” Biden said.
Throughout the White House grounds are 98 Christmas trees, almost 34,000 ornaments, 72 wreaths and about 142,000 holiday lights.
Here are some of the decor highlights:
The Blue Room displays the official White House tree, an 18.5 foot Fraser Fir that reaches from the floor to the ceiling and was sourced from North Carolina.
