If your invitation to the Obama’s Christmas Party got lost in the mail, here’s your chance to take a Christmas House tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – the White House. Check out the White House decorated for Christmas 2012! Source: HGTV
A table top Christmas tree sits in front of a window in a room at the White House for Christmas 2012 to be enjoyed by President Obama and his family. Its lovely to see the White House decorated for Christmas.
The Obama’s love their dog Bo, who joined their family shortly after they moved into the White House. Their Christmas decor for 2012 includes not just one but SIX hand-made decorative replicas of Bo! If you were to be so lucky as to go for a stroll through the White House this Christmas, you’d never know where Bo would turn up. Incorporating Bo into their Christmas decor shows the Obama’s love their their furry family member, and their sense of whimsy and humor. This version of Bo, shown above, is crafted from plastic pom-poms!
The intimate family dining room at the White House where just the family gathers. The Obamas have been criticized by the opposing party this year for putting up too many Christmas trees, however, there are only a few more than the Bush’s typically had when they were in the White House.
The festive front entry way decorated for Christmas with a Victorian Kissing Ball made from evergreen sprigs; a pretty red ribbon dangles from the bottom. Very festive, very romantic!
Christmas wreaths are suspended on red ribbons in the windows of this beautiful sun lit corridor which the president walks through several times each day. Classic, elegant Christmas window decorations.
A “cranberry urn” on a console table is part of the Christmas decor in a room at the White House.
Bo sits in front of some Christmas table decorations at the White House, including one of six eco-friendly replica’s of him, made from re-purposed materials. He’s one good looking dog!

Its Bo, frolicking in the snow on the White House grounds. Love it!
A dining room (0ne of several) at the White House, decorated for Christmas 2012. It looks so… well, relatively normal. You could almost picture any family sitting down to Christmas dinner here… (well, any middle-upper class family…). Its kind of intimate in its own way. And very traditional. Can’t you just see the Obama’s sitting here for Christmas dinner? And the President sneaking turkey scraps to Bo (their dog) under the table…?
How does your Christmas dining room decor compare to this…? Do you prefer this dining room to yours for Christmas?
]]>Wow. Just WOW.This looks amazing. One of the best Christmas decorating ideas we’ve come across this year.
A professional interior decorator shows you how she decorates her own home for Christmas and transforms it into an asbolute winter wonderland by hanging large snowflakes from her ceiling. Its the kind of thing you’d see at a high end Christmas gala. LOVE THIS.
This isn’t mentioned in the video, but, according to the designer, the snowflakes are hung with off-white sewing thread. You could use clear thread like fishing line but it isn’t recommended because it captures the light reflection and as a result is actually more noticable than the sewing thread. Use a color that best matches your ceiling paint color. Also, the designer in the video uses T-pins – never nails! T-pins leave much smaller holes in the ceiling than nails would.
Exquisite.
