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!
“Prediction:
This WH Christmas will send the left over the edge.
The theme will be, imagine this, the birth of Christ.
They will go ape shit”
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.

Nice pix, KC!
My point Zacly.
Trolling the left to bring them out in the fore front and expose them for what they are(not)
He’s crazy about her....That look says volumes!
Several years ago, I read a book by Mrs. Nesbit, FDR’s cook and housekeeper in NY and then the White House. The exhausting year-long preparations for Christmas get an entire chapter in her book - and that was in the 30s during the Depression. I can’t imagine what it would be like today. But it must be wonderful fun.
WAAAAAY too soon.
No way. Sure it's too early for us to start listening to Christmas carols, etc., but planning for the numerous big-time events that go on in the White House during Christmastime takes an enormous effort.
Regardless of who is President, there are several parties/gatherings each Christmas season in the WH... planning needs to be done for very detailed decorations, floral designs, extensive menu planning and food ordering, invitations by the WH calligrapher, coordination of music and musicians, etc.
“Too soon for me.”
—
Me too. When my kids were young I wouldn’t let them even talk about it,to me,until the day after Thanksgiving.
.
Agreed. I can’t imagine trying to organize a Christmas season at the White House. Melania is wise to begin now.
**. And yes –there’s even a Nativity — an ever-present reminder of the reason for the season.” **
BTTT!
Am waiting for the year the theme will include celestial beings — angels all over the place! AND sheep complete with shepherds on the front yard. Maybe invite a few kings from ME countries to come visit. That would surely send the left “over the wall”!
Merry Christmas—
. “I will keep Christmas in my heart and honor it the year through !”
December 1st seems like a good kickoff date for the Christmas season...or whenever Thanksgiving leftovers run out.
I do planning for some things at our Church.
I already have a question for my priest about Lent.
You are correct, that when you are in charge of something, you do plan way ahead!
Women are apostate pastors.
Jesus chose only men as his apostles.
Commies are disgusting filth, Im enjoying watching them cry their little eyes out..hoping that in November, their suffering continues with a GOP landslide victory!
“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?””
Should be easy enough to put a video together to prove how “truly” religious the Fraud was every chance he got.
Back when I was working in food if you did not have your Christmas specialty numbers in before the Fourth you were LATE.
In retail you pretty much have everything planned and ordered by Memorial Day.
In this case people have to apply and be screened so I would say they are a little behind.
Now it is way to early to start putting up decorations. The peach harvest isn't even finished yet. But the planning you should have that going already.
“WAAAAAY too soon.”
Every person will have to be investigated; it’ll take a while.
THE REAL HILLARY CLINTON: Defiling the White House Christmas Tree
Back when the FBI was pro-America, FBI agent Gary Aldrich wrote a book about his time assigned to the Clinton White House when Hillary Clinton was First Lady.
In it he describes the Hillary Christmas tree in the Blue Room.
She had it decorated with sex-toys, self mutilation devices, representations of human genitalia, birds fornicating, etc.
