(WASHINGTON) -- It took 54 live Christmas trees, 175 pounds of gingerbread, and 85 volunteers from across the country to pull it off, but the holidays have finally arrived at the White House.

**SNIP**

More than 90,000 visitors will tour the decorations at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this holiday season, which now boasts a huge 18-foot-6-inch Fraser fir in the Blue Room and a giant topiary of the Obama family dog Bo made out of 20,000 black and white pom-poms.

Other highlights include the annual White House gingerbread house, which weighs in at an impressive 300 pounds. “It even includes chandeliers that light up,” the first lady bragged. “It glows. Like Rudolph’s nose, right.”

Fun facts about this year’s decorations:

What is that lump sticking out of her right cheek?

She just has high cheekbones like that Elizabeth Warren squaw. I believe Mo is part Blackfoot. Mo's Indian name is "Unghughhah", which loosely translated means, "ass as wide as a teepee".

Lots of money being spent for make up, clothing and hair stylist, too!
along with everything else. Such a shame to see them flaunt the successes they believe from their Soros/Reid/Pelosi agenda/and of their belief/ cause of the black man to being down/is the white man's success. I believe in being respectful to the office of the presidency but many can see them as shams with a pay back agenda. Look at the Fox link that ilovesarah posted on this thread with the ornament of the dictator shown of a previous Christmas tree at the White House. Mrs. went around North Carolina, telling people not to worry, because the early voting would give Barrack the win. How did she know the numbers.

I still can become angry in my quiet time knowing the Gop-e picked/forced on us liberal Mitt to fight these dedicated pure marxists. Now, no reforms, increased taxes and spending almost certain, an agency; Homeland Security which has become the police arm of Obama, and he as a CIC who is not loyal to our soldiers nor our country or his oath.

Merry Christmas, America. Just don't give up, should be your Christmas message to those who are still shaken.

Thank the Lord that I was prepared for this because when Clinton won, I was almost devastated. I knew the moral structure would be torn for years to come. Women groups protected him and that was hard on women who seen him as a corrupt person against women though now some judge Newt. Only thing worse to come, are the police/state/feds in the streets turning on the people. Sounds so extreme, doesn't it. With the wrong president, given the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, one can do about anything to the people. I realize that every president keeps things from us and does things we see as wrong..though, this man in control now, ( a planned control by the way) has broken his oath to the constitution. You cannot get any more corrupt character right in your face, other than Hugo Chavez, Castro character.
