By Mark Moore

The first lady, joined by a group of volunteers and National Guard leaders and families from across the country, will unveil the decorations later Monday, “offering a holiday message of unity and hope,” the White House said in a statement.
“The soul of our nation is, and always has been, ‘We the People,’” the first lady will say in prepared remarks. “And that is what inspired this year’s White House holiday decoration.” ...

Sorry, but I think the decorations look like crappola. The sculptors aren't the greatest either.

Meh. Not very nice.

I think she should have decorated with all the lovely floral fabrics she's incorporated into her fashion choices.

How are the woke social justice warriors coping with the needless, wholesale slaughter of innocent trees to be used for Christmas decorations?
Has anyone thrown tree sap on a mall Santa in protest?

The problem with that theme is that there is no 'Sofa Room' in the White House.

Maybe the local elementary school kids helped with the decorations?

The intended details are for the most part nice, but all in all the decorations are still pretty tacky looking. I do like the Gold Tree honoring fallen members of the US military. I also like that they displayed the Menorah.

Be happy for what you are getting. I wouldn't have been surprised to see child porn.

Biden family stockings omit Hunter's out-of-wedlock daughter for second year in a row
The Biden White House has officially hung its Christmas stockings, but the holiday decorations are absent one family member: Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock daughter. ..............

@Smokin Joe
I am mad enough as it is. No need to throw gasoline on the fire.
-
The Advent candles and Hanukkah candles are conspicuously absent. The Biden Whitehouse has removed the "Christ" from Christmas.
-
Speaking of which, I wonder what all that cost us?
Every first lady decorates for Christmas, and in my opinion it's an excessive expenditure, no matter who she is. The bigger issue is that the first lady decides on the theme and general look of the decor. Jill is just a tacky person, so it should surprise no one that "her" decorations are so lacking in class or good taste.
-
Honestly, does anyone with a life really care. The only fashion or holiday cues I take from the 1st Lady is what couch fabric swatch would look good as a dress.

Looks like a Bath and Bodyworks storefront.

I don’t mind this one that much. It’s better than the dining room.

Who did she get advice from; Shillary, and Mooshelle?
