China Room Decorated for the Holidays

This photograph of the China Room decorated for the holidays was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 20, 2018. For their second holiday season in the White House, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump chose the theme "American Treasures" for their decor. "American Treasures" was inspired by the heart and spirit of America and featured White House holiday traditions such as the White House Gingerbread House, expanded this year to include replicas of major monuments in Washington, D.C. and the Capitol, the historic 18th-century Neapolitan crèche in the East Room, the Blue Room Christmas tree, and the Cranberry Tree in the Red Room. The China Room displayed the table settings from State Dinners held during the Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Donald Trump administrations.
