"These are the gifts that tie together the heartstrings of our lives. These are the gifts from the heart." There is a huge gingerbread White House that recognizes the efforts of frontline workers throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The executive mansion, including the Oval Office, was decorated with 41 Christmas trees, 2,000 yards of ribbon, and more than 10,000 ornaments while the Bidens were celebrating Thanksgiving. FIRST HOLIDAY SEASON Nearly 79,000 lights illuminate the trees, garlands, wreaths, and other holiday displays. The Bidens said: ...As we celebrate our first holiday season in the White House, we are inspired by the Americans we have met across the country, time and again reminding us that our differences are precious and our similarities infinite.... The arrival of the White House Christmas tree marks the start of the holiday festivities.
