Have you ever wondered...
Which administration holds the record for the number of Christmas trees displayed at the White House?
The record for the number of Christmas trees in the White House was held for many years by the Eisenhower administration, when 26 trees filled every floor of the house. That mark has been eclipsed on several occasions in recent times, including the Clinton administration’s 36 trees in the 1997 theme of “Santa’s Workshop,” and the 2008 White House Christmas decorations of the Bush administration that included 27 trees as part of a theme of “A Red, White and Blue Christmas.”
