MONTHS OF PLANNING

Melania and her staff put in months of work on the decorations that will fill the public reception rooms at the White House for the holidays.

The first lady began planning this year's festive decor early in the summer.

The White House added: "Each year, the White House is decorated for Christmas by a team of dedicated volunteers! The White House Christmas decorations, carefully selected by @FLOTUS, will be on display beginning soon!"

Melania had welcomed the official White House Christmas Tree last Monday, with this year's tree being over a whopping five meters tall and 16 years old.
