Dr Biden's White House Holiday decorations are beautiful and feature books and reading.

[MLAA]

One of my favorite vignettes is this scene of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas.

1. Very classic

[MLAA]

28. A nice balance between some elegant rooms and some jovial, fanciful and joyful vignettes.

[claudette]

2. Absolutely beautiful!

A lot classier and more soothing than the bright red trees that Melaria designed.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Melania's was the most macabre Christmas decor I have ever seen.

Terrifying.

[MLAA]

19. I'm thinking her theme was serial killer Christmas.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Well then she is brilliant because she nailed it.

You have to wonder what goes on in her mind.

[MLAA]

44. I'm thinking not a lot 😬

[Irish_Dem]

48. Sad but true.

[MLAA]

29. Perfect balance between some elegant vignettes and joyful, fantastical, cheerful ones.

4. I'm usually not fond of big Christmas displays but I know our President and Jill Biden are sincere and wonderful

and I can share their season's joy. There is kindness and sweetness to their decorations and I can love that.

5. remember the red trees dripping blood in a hallway, reminiscent of the elevator scene in the shining

that melanoma thought was a good idea?

[MLAA]

20. She was going with a serial killer motif!

[orleans]

49. lol! she hit that nail on the head!

[niyad]

6. Absolutely beautiful. So much love and joy and sheer magic.

I can see why it took some 300 volunteers!

[MLAA]

30. Wonderful design with something for everyone

Imagine all the hours it must have taken given 300 volunteers.

[niyad]

33. I think I read that it took a week.

[MLAA]

35. 7 days *10hrs*300 volunteers 21,000 hours!

While all 300 likely weren’t all there the same time, I expect there were many hours spent off site in preparation.

7. Dr. Jill is AMAZING!!!

[MLAA]

21. Smart, caring, genuine, beautiful and compassionate. What a wonderful woman.

[rogerballard]

8. Very nice

I like the Christmas candy decorations. All comes together quite well.

[MLAA]

34. Yes! I love the old fashioned Christmas hard candies with soft centers and was just given a bag!

Yum!

9. JOE AND JILL BIDEN ARE......."TOTAL CLASS"

[PhylliPretzel]

10. Too ostentatious!

Extravagant and pretentious. "Simplicity is the keynote to all true elegance." Coco Chanel
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Leonardo Da Vinci

[Elessar Zappa]

14. Lol uh huh.

Judging from the online response, I’d say most disagree with your opinion.

[calimary]

18. Meh - Christmas is the one time where you can joyfully junk up the joint! And then celebrate it!

Bring out all those trees! All those colored glass balls and baubles and wreaths and Christmas keepsakes and Grandma's favorite ornaments that you were lucky enough to inherit. All that hanging-up stuff! All the gewgaws that you get out every year for the Christmas season! Gimme the tinsel and lights and the music boxes and the stockings and the whole works! Why the hell not? NOTHING is too much! We can be tasteful and austere and understated for the entire rest of the year. Christmas is different! Time to dress up the place and then enjoy it!

I always felt more Christmassy when the decorations started going up.

Anybody here live in Kansas City, MO? Maybe near the Plaza? Every Thanksgiving after the big dinner, my parents had a ritual. They'd drive into the hills across Brush Creek from the Plaza and we'd stand there and either watch the lights go on OR enjoy them after they'd been turned on. ALL the buildings were lined with lights. Every color of lights! The whole Plaza area where all the stores and shops and restaurants were. I remember it as a great upscale shopping and dining area, and very popular - as it deserved to be. And every Christmas, they turned it into a night-time fairy land. There were always picture postcards of the Plaza all lit up for Christmas. FABULOUS childhood memory - that still makes me smile!

[MLAA]

22. What a wonderful tradition!

[niyad]

37. "Magic, Wonder, and Joy" is the theme this year. Nobody asked

Coco or da Vinci for their opinions.

[lastlib]

11. Books??!? **--GASP!!--**

WOKE!! - - - :haironfire:



Jill Biden!

[MLAA]

23. Right? I mean books that aren't being lit on fire! Woke!

[SunSeeker]

12. But who can forget Melania's Red Christmas?

?si=haikbVHnBs2Brh4G

[calimary]

17. DEFINIITELY creepy. Ghoulish red. What did she think she was symbolizing?

Not one bit festive or inviting or celebratory. ICKY, just like her.

ICKY.

[MLAA]

24. Her motif was serial killer Christmas!

[MLAA]

25. Chainsaw murder Christmas motif?

[marble falls]

13. Very nice. Sure beats Melania's dark X-mas visions. I especially like the Barack Obama picture on the far right ...

... The decorations are are so bright and light. The creche was absolutely astounding. I can't wait to hear what the wingers got to say.

[MLAA]

32. They are asking themselves why the books in some of the vignettes aren't on fire.

[marble falls]

38. They should have been concerned about why all the books in the TFG White House had all been colored in with Sharpies.

[MLAA]

43. Indeed!

[Niagara]

15. Elegant and magical!

[MLAA]

31. A perfect balance with something for everyone.

[calimary]

16. That's not a White House. That's a WONDERLAND!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those reindeer looking like they're going to pull Santa's sleigh all the way across that big room! You can't NOT get into a Christmassy mood, surrounded by all that visual magic. FABULOUS job!!! OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING, Dr. Biden!!! Turn her loose in the White House EVERY Christmas season (no matter who's voted in to occupy it)!




DAYUM, she's good!!!

[MLAA]

26. Yes! Future First Ladies need To engage Dr Biden and her team!

[Duncanpup]

27. Very nice

[MLAA]

36. How will Dunc handle a Christmas tree?

[marble falls]

39. Handling isn't the problem. 'Watering' it is.

[MLAA]

42. ...

[keithbvadu2]

41. Trump said he won the war on Christmas

With lots of help from Melania, eh?
