White House Christmas tree

Since it was almost balmy last night (around 40 F), we went to the White House to see the National Christmas Tree. It was impossible to get the tree and the residence in one picture, so here’s the White House with Trump’s very own Christmas tree. Fortunately, he was nowhere in sight. Pictures of the national tree to follow.

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

Decorations can't cover up whats going on inside. V

Trump was no doubt exercising his thumbs and tweeting away. Thus, this scene is very pretty. V

But I can't see the gold lead put on the columns this past year. How did you get them back to white? ~V~

Looks pretty all decked out for the holidays. Thank heavens they didn't let trump decorate...everything would have been gold. V

As Trump likes to say ... it's a fake Christmas anyway, fake trees, fake decos, fake holiday spirit ... Sarah Sanders says so eh!
