— -- The holidays have officially arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House today unveiled this year's over-the-top decorations and theme, which is "A Children’s Winter Wonderland."
As families across the nation decorate their own homes, and wrestle with those pesky Christmas lights, here's a look at what it takes to bring holiday cheer to the White House:
The White House unveiled this year's over-the-top decorations and theme, "A Children's Winter Wonderland."
In all, 106 volunteers from 37 states came together to create this year's White House "Winter Wonderland."
There are 26 different Christmas trees, including 1 official tree in the Blue Room that stands 18 feet high and nearly 12 feet wide and is adorned with 2,000 unique ornaments.
It took more than 1 mile of black and white ribbon to create this year's animated replicas of First Dogs Sunny and Bo.
