American Christmas.

My favorite holiday tradition since I moved to DC five years ago is the Holiday tour at the White House.  

This year (my sixth!) might just be the best so far.

 Stained glass- and what a view.                                                  Such a neat tree.
 
 Momma Adams.                                                            Puppy.

Love these baubles- round ornaments anchored into small topiaries- easy, fun, and do-able.

 My favorite room, the Vermeil Room.

 Mantles.

 The Green Room.                                                           The real deal- the Blue Room tree.

Gang's all here!                                                                        My favorite portrait in the East Wing.

Gingerbread house and bow shaped garlands- like and LIKE.

  Trees dedicated to the First Ladies.

 BO HO HO.

 Til next year, sirs.
