White House Christmas Decoration Countdown: Merry Christmas
Counting down the days to Christmas with a daily morning post containing a photograph of the White House Christmas decorations. Have no clue why someone Jewish is doing this or how I got all these pictures — read the first post.
Don’t forget about the Life of Scratch Kindle promotion (it’s free for the day!) : a Christmas gift to you.
The official White House gingerbread house! Except this year, it’s not made out of gingerbread. It’s essentially… matzah. Flour and water. With a lot of cool sugar art as decoration.
You can listen to Bill Yosses, head pastry chef, talk about the house in the clip below. The first few seconds are a little garbled.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Wow, that is quite impressive! and are those covered wagons in the foreground?
Wowsers!
I love the totally accurate Bo!!
@clare — I think that’s Michelle’s organic garden. Maybe the things that look like covered wagons are bug nets?
Thank you for sharing the pictures of the White House decorated for Christmas this year. I recently moved to Florida from Pennsylvania, so it was a treat for me to see things that were a little more along the lines of what I am used to seeing. With unpacking this year, I didn’t get around to my own decorating. So, your pictures were a highlight for me. Thanks!
So cool!! 🙂 Thanks for doing this, Mel — this was fun!
