The President's Palace just got a little merrier.
Excited to share that the Official White House Christmas tree is up in the Blue Room!
Earlier this week, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden tweeted that the White House has been fully decorated for Christmas.
Inspired by the acts of kindness and experiences that lifted our spirits this year, decorated rooms in the White House reflect the Gifts from the Heart that unite us all: faith, family, friendship, the arts, learning, nature, gratitude, service, community, peace, and unity.
"Inspired by the acts of kindness and experiences that lifted our spirits this year, decorated rooms in the White House reflect the Gifts from the Heart that unite us all: faith, family, friendship, the arts, learning, nature, gratitude, service, community, peace, and unity," the First Lady's tweet reads.
If you're familiar with the history of White House Christmas decorations, you'll notice that this year's adornments are refreshingly ordinary compared to the last few years.
In case you need a reminder, in 2017, former First Lady Melania Trump's choice of white Christmas trees caused an outpour of criticism and memes.
The trees definitely gave off some dark energy.
why do the White House Christmas decorations look like Voldemort is about to come back
And we can't forget about 2018, the year of the "Blood Trees."
People made fun of the decor, and some even drew comparisons to The Handmaid's Tale and other horror classics.
Melania's Christmas decorations look like they're straight out of the Shining
And it turns out that Melania had complained about the decorations earlier that year. In tapes released by CNN, Melania had been secretly recorded in the summer of 2018 saying, "I'm working ... my a** off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?"
The @WhiteHouse is sparkling for the Christmas season!
So, after quite a few rocky Christmas situations at the White House, it makes sense that people were shocked at how pleasant and non-dystopian this year's decorations are.
@IAmCongoBongo @FLOTUS @WhiteHouse @StephenKing 🤣 I saw a headline "white house Christmas decorations" and I twitched a little. Reverbs from the past four Christmas nightmares!
It seemed like everyone was in agreement...
@FLOTUS @WhiteHouse That can't be right. It looks beautiful and not like something out of a @StephenKing novel. So nice to have normal folks back in the White house. Thank you Mrs. Biden!
...and they were able to let out sighs of relief.
@FLOTUS I am almost in tears, because we finally have normal. And not only that, but decorations I can relate to, enjoy, and that actually have meaning! Beautiful! Thank you so much our wonderful First Lady! ❤
Phew.
@FLOTUS Man, I'm glad it's not those creepy red Gilead trees again. That was nightmare fuel.
What a difference!
@FLOTUS From 'American Horror Story' to 'Its A Wonderful Life'. My what a difference an election can make.
