WASHINGTON – Christmas decorations at the White House, which were personally selected by first lady Melania Trump, aim to reflect the American spirit of generosity, patriotism and gratitude under the theme: "Home is Where the Heart Is."
George Washington and Donald Trump each have Lego portraits in the Green Room, which has been decorated as a game room with dominoes and other entertainments.
The iconic White House gingerbread house in the State Dining Room showcases the South Portico and offers a unique glimpse into the Yellow Oval room in the private residence as it is furnished today. The replica was built from 120 pounds of gingerbread.
"It is edible, but you cannot take a piece with you," said Nick Clemens, a spokesperson for the first lady.
Public tours arranged through congressional offices begin Dec. 2. The White House expects tens of thousands of people to view the decorations.
