In a change this year because the East Wing was torn down, the official White House Christmas tree, which is always on display in the Blue Room, also honors Gold Star families, those that lost a member during active-duty military service. That tree typically was in the East Wing and was the first one visitors saw after they entered through those doors, but the building and a covered walkway, or colonnade, connecting it to the White House were demolished by President Donald Trump in October as part of his plan to erect a large ballroom. The East Room is decorated in patriotic red, white and blue and national symbols, including golden eagle tree toppers, to…...

Fondness is often linked to memories of warm kitchens and pleasant family times. Baking cookies is old-fashioned holiday fun.
