The White House unveiled its holiday decorations for 2017 Monday. Staffers were still putting on the finishing touches as journalists made their way through the doors of the East Wing to document the occasion.

Some 150 volunteers outfitted the executive mansion over Thanksgiving. This year’s theme is “Time-Honored Traditions” and involves more than 1,000 feet of garland, 18,000 feet of lights, 3,100-yards of ribbon, 12,000 ornaments, and 53 Christmas trees. Melania Trump personally selected every detail, right down to the edible wreaths hanging from this year’s 200-pound gingerbread house.
