Melania Trump begins prep for Christmas. Want to participate? Don’t miss this deadline to apply.

First lady Melania Trump has already begun prepping the White House for Christmas, which still remains four months away. And just like last year, this year she intends to recruit help from the public to make this Christmas spectacular again.

In a press release published Aug. 3, the White House explained that it’s specifically looking for musicians, entertainers and volunteers for this year’s preparations. Volunteers will reportedly be chosen to help decorate, while musicians and entertainers will be selected to perform during White House open houses in December.

Becoming a volunteer isn’t as easy as just signing up, though. Potential volunteers must submit an application through the White House by Sept. 3 at the latest. This requires that they share their phone number, their email address and any relevant work experience. Those with previous experience in interior decorating or floral design are preferred.

Similar rules apply for entertainers and musicians, who must possess professional or school experience — school bands and choirs are eligible — and be willing to pay for any costs pertaining to music equipment, travel expenses, etc.

According to Fox News, last year 25,000 visitors toured the immaculately decorated White House around Christmas.

Here’s a brief reminder of what the White House looked like at the time:

It reportedly took over 150 volunteers over 1,600 hours to piece together these decorations, which Fox noted included 71 wreaths, 53 Christmas trees and 18,000+ lights. Chosen by Melania, the decorations were designed to fit her “Time-Honored Traditions” theme. This year’s theme has not yet been chosen.

While former first lady Michelle Obama’s Christmas festivities also involved nice decorations and music, they lacked one key thing: Christmas! Because of political correctness, she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, preferred to instead celebrate the “holidays.” That however thankfully changed after President Donald Trump stepped into office.

Listen below as he promises after his election in late 2016 that the so-called “holidays” at the White House would return to being about Christmas going forward:

When Christmas with Trump in office finally rolled around, many were pleased by the transformation.

“President Trump vowed to put the Christ back into Christmas and … exactly what he did — delivering on a promise to end the ongoing war on Christmas,” Fox News’ Todd Starnes opined in a column last November.

“[S]ure enough the Trump family’s first presidential holiday card is adorned with the words ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.’ And the Christmas decorations are simply spectacular — the White House decorated with lots of red and green and gold. And yes –there’s even a Nativity — an ever-present reminder of the reason for the season.”

“Thank you, Mr. President for being a man of your word — a man who is not ashamed to say, ‘Merry Christmas,'” Starnes concluded.

Indeed, and amen!

the Trump family’s first presidential holiday card was adorned with the words ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’ —
the White House decorated with lots of red and green and gold –there’s even a Nativity scene.
President Trump is a man of his word — and he's not ashamed to say, "Merry Christmas."

It would not be shocked if ACLU and an activist judge would try to put a stop to it. I find it scary how the judges get illegally involved in our lives, and they get away with it. We simply give in to them. No demonstrations, no reaction from the other branches of the government.

Too soon for candy and trees in the stores, but in this case, well it's not like the WH can just slap on a couple of light strings and call it a day.

As long as Christmas is back and infuriating those who purged, the Trump family should start planning in March for "Christmas in July".

It would be a nice touch. The Bible doesn't give an exact date anyway, so it leaves the options open.

Agree.

One of our pastors puts her TREE up Sept.10 and keeps decorating thereafter. She loves Christmas.

More of an after Thanksgiving person myself.

Not to mention that our First Lady, Melania, is a very busy woman who follows a tight schedule. This includes travel, and visits to individuals she might feel would benefit with public exposure. (IE: Very ill children; military personal whose lives have grave illness or injuries).

Thank you, Melania, for your help in bringing Christmas back to our nation once again.

We appreciate you more than you or President Trump could possibly imagine.

“Prediction:

If the birth of Christ is the theme for this Christmas, at the White House, any bets as to how long before the loons on the left and the ACLU scream “Separation of Church and State?” I am so sick of those screaming cry babies who want someone else to provide all their needs from the womb ((if you can make it alive out of the womb) to the tomb. Bernie and that Cortez chick are real whips.
