Those red trees look like something straight off a Game of Thrones battlefield. Horrifying.

I love how their decorator decided to go with a more subtle approach this year.

Maybe they're getting ready for the Red Wedding?
Most of the rest look really nice and reflect the hard work of all the volunteers. Any Be Best bologna is just that: junk lunch meat.

I like the red trees. Very pretty.
I would love to see the white house at Christmas. One year they had a tree with ornaments made by artists in every state. I'd love to be part of that!

The Be Best wreath looks like some five year olds craft project.

I'd like to not be petty, but...
Her coat over the shoulders and gloves in hand look always make her appear to be on the verge of bolting out the door. She's passing through that video like a guest touring the White House.
Put on your pajamas, Melania. Make yourself at home, girl.

Overall I thought it was very pretty. It could be much much worse. Surprisingly I even kind of like the red trees...

I liked most of it.
The Be Best wreath, meh. Belongs in a classroom but then again they might need to use the pencils.
The red trees didn't look to bad in the sketch but the real life version gave me instant feel of foreboding- too dark/stark/light sucking.
and I know it's her model thing but enough of the coat over the shoulders, holding gloves thing indoors. Looks like a department store ad or something. (aka not natural)

I don’t like the hallway full of red trees. I would like them more if there weren’t so many of them. And they are so big they take up most of the walking space. Maybe if they were interspersed with green trees?
I like the green and gold with the blue accents.
I could do without the “be best” shit. What a failed campaign. It’s like the word “fetch”. It’s never going to happen! Let it go!!!!
Why are there so many shots of Melania walking away from the camera and audience?

Maybe the forest of red trees is a nod to their pals in Russia? The trees by the fireplace weren’t bad but I would have left off the gold eagle tree toppers.  |

I want to say that’s the coat/gloves she was wearing coming back to the WH from Maralago for Thanksgiving. Like they filmed a couple of shots as she walked through to go upstairs?

They caught shit for it being spooky last year, too! I mean, learn from your mistakes, people!!!! It went from vaguely spooky to something out of The Shining. Get it together. |

Hated the red trees, looks weird but the other trees and decor was beautiful.
The be best wreath? I guess they need subtle reminders if not being assholes.

red trees (I guess that's just going to be a spooky Xmas hallway forever now) and wreaths made of "Be Best" pencils (because she's not doing anything else with them). haha!! what ARE those red trees made out of, anyway? they don't look like pine boughs; just red clumps of *stuff* stuck into a tree-like shape. Apparently they took peoples' dislike of the white hallway to heart and waaaaay overdid it in the opposite direction. (maybe?) anyway, there are some GOOD comments here... thanks, guys, for making my back-to-work morning slump more amusing!! ETA: bits and pieces of each of the areas are nice, but there's no cohesive theme. Is that the way it usually is? Or is it just the way the video is making it look? I mean, really... beautifully-decorated trees, then wreaths made out of pencils? really?!? ETA2: the SKETCH of the red trees could be pretty, but the execution lacks something-- like light!! maybe if the trees had lights on, it wouldn't look quite so oppressive? And the eagle tree-topper looks a bit too much like it's *looming* overhead waiting to pounce (like Snoopy when he pretends to be a vulture). |

What ARE the red trees made of? Is it supposed to be a berry effect?
I agree that the red trees are just too... much? heavy? overpowering? ... all the words.
I think my main issue with them is they look "melted" for lack of a better word. As if they were stored in a hot attic since last Christmas and didn't make it through the heat of the summer well.

The Be Best wreath looks like some five year olds craft project. Thanks for that as I sit here cutting and gluing colored pencils for kids Christmas presents!!! Yes, for real I am!!  The red trees are just TOO MUCH. The others are pretty but have NO color. Al the same make it so much easier for them. No variety.. Dull........ except the red tress and again they are too much! |

I liked most of the decor. I didn't think the red trees in the hallway were appalling or blood red; just boring. I didn't care for the pencil wreath and the be best ornaments.
