Jill Biden was looking for intimacy when she decorated the White House’s Holiday decorations. The Green and Red rooms had wood fires burning. It turns out that the Bidens love spending a warm night in America’s home, warming up by a crackling fire place. The White House boasts 28 of these fireplaces.
The theme was “Gifts From the Heart”, and the first lady selected the theme. Each room is decorated with a mini-theme including the Gift of Family or the Gift of Service. These themes are dedicated to the military, first responders, and front-line workers.
Melania Trump’s intimidating, and some say scary, blood red trees in East Colonnade have gone. This was 2018, late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon compared to Christmas in hell.

Jill Biden’s Colonnade, however, is a more low-key presentation. It features shooting stars and peace doves suspended from the ceiling. The official White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room is decorated with peace doves and white ribbons that bear the names of each state. The official cookie is in the form of a dove, and it’s covered with white icing.
Biden’s first venture into holiday decorating at White House wasn’t extravagant or opulent. It was a simplified version of how American families decorate their homes with candles and twinkling light.
