- Washington, DC
To follow up from an earlier post...
Today First Lady Michelle Obama unveiled the Blue Room Christmas tree that will be accessible to the public visiting the White House.
The theme of the holiday decorating is "Reflect, Rejoice and Renew".
In an unusual turn they decided to re-use about 800 ornaments left over from previous administrations. These were re-designed by about 60 local community groups throughout the country. The groups decorated them to pay tribute to a favorite local landmark and then sent them back for display at the White House.
Bravo to the First Lady for not only recycling but for the community inclusion to the festivities this year.
