It's beginning to look a lot like a White House Christmas

White House community Christmas tree

The Kid and I had invitations to go visit the White House decorations this afternoon, and what a treat! At the beginning of the tour, a funny cardboard Christmas tree honeycombed with cubbies. People chose colored slip of paper and wrote a wish to insert into the tree. We stood in the East room. We stood in the Green Room. We got to see a beautiful portrait of JFK. We saw so many wonderful things…

and we saw the ornaments we helped make hanging on the tree. We must have stood in that room for half an hour, searching out our particular ornaments. I just stood there, looking at each of them, desperately searching for all of them, but only able to find four. There. In the White House. Something I made. Something that people I know made. Very cool.

When we left, the King of Everything was shivering with excitement. “I can’t BELIEVE I was INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!!!” he shouted, leaping off the steps of the White House.

    You know, I’d be thinking the same thing as him. I’m slowly working towards a resume that will get me a job there. Can’t believe it could be reality! The White House!

    That is so awesome. And glad your son appreciated how special that experience is. I watched Oprah’s special at the White House and it looks so beautiful. Wish I had a team of workers to do stuff for me. I hope some day to visit DC but it’s kinda far away. (here in northern California).
