2020 Holiday Decorations Near Portrait of First Lady Laura Bush

This photograph of holiday decorations in the Ground Floor Corridor was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 30, 2020 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. This photograph shows festive red flowers next to John Howard Sanden's official White House portrait of First Lady Laura Bush. The holiday theme for 2020 was America the Beautiful, which celebrated the natural wonders of the American landscape. Selected by First Lady Melania Trump, the White House decorations also paid tribute to the courage and resilience of frontline workers, members of the military, and other American heroes. In 2020, American frontline and essential workers faced unique challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
