"December means homes across America are decking the halls, and the White House is no exception. Ever since President John Adams and first lady Abigail Adams hosted the first White House Christmas party in 1800, first families have partaken in festive holiday traditions while in office. First ladies have traditionally chosen a theme for the White House Christmas decorations and overseen the planning process, a practice that began with Jacqueline Kennedy."
"The White House has celebrated Christmas since the administration of John Adams in 1800. First ladies traditionally oversee decorating the White House for Christmas. Melania Trump's White House Christmas decorations this year are themed "Home Is Where The Heart Is.""
The White House has observed Christmas since John Adams and Abigail Adams hosted the first White House Christmas party in 1800. First families have kept festive traditions through successive administrations. First ladies have supervised the annual holiday decorations and chosen a theme each year, a practice that began with Jacqueline Kennedy. For the current season, first lady Melania Trump selected the theme "Home Is Where The Heart Is." The 2018 decorations were scaled back because of East Wing demolition in October. White House holiday displays reflect both continuity and change in presidential family observances over time.
