The White House Christmas decorations are here once again, and this year, first lady Melania Trump has selected the familiar theme of patriotism, her 'Spirit of America'
" 'The Spirit of America' is shining in the White House! I am delighted to share this beautiful exhibit of patriotism for all to see, and excited for everyone to experience the beauty of the #Christmas season!" she tweeted Monday morning, along with a video of herself, going room to room, tweaking and inspecting the details, a cupful of fake snow in one hand to sprinkle on branches of some of the 58 trees.
Additionally, Trump kept the tradition of a giant White House replica -- made from 200 pounds of gingerbread, with layers and layers of white icing and banisters of the South Portico and Truman Balcony made from raw spaghetti coated black with icing. This year, there were no signs of the red cranberry"trees" that spurred memes and criticism last year. The blood-red decorations were widely panned on social media, prompting a response from the first lady.
