Christmas at the White House with the Obamas takes on a particularly merry glow of the better spirits of the season.
"WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 30: The official White House Christmas tree, the centerpiece of the Blue Room, is on display during the first viewing of the 2011 White House Christmas decorations November 30, 2011 in Washington, DC. Honoring Blue Star families, the 18-foot 6-inch balsam fir tree is decorated with framed military medals and handmade holiday cards created by military children living on installations around the world. The theme, 'Shine, Give, Share,' runs throught the White House with a 400-pound White House Gingerbread House and 37 Christmas trees." Getty Images
How that must frost people who blindly and often stupidly oppose the president.
Consider, from today’s Washington Post:
- 37 Christmas trees in the Executive Mansion, reflecting the Obama Christmas theme, “Shine, Give, Share”
- Two trees honoring veterans and military service, one Gold Star tree, one Blue Star tree, to promote awareness of the meaning of the blue and gold star traditions
- Two trees honoring veterans and military service, one Gold Star tree, one Blue Star tree, to promote awareness of the meaning of the blue and gold star traditions
- Lots of kids — receptions for children of servicemen have provided a parade of cheeriness
- Bo, the dog, stars in a variety of ways, including a recyclable replica of the dog made from trash bags
- 85,000 holiday visitors
- Entertainment for 12,000 volunteers, Congressmen, staff, Secret Service, and others
- The 2011 White House holiday guidebook distributed to visitors, created by eight students from the Corcoran College of Art and Design (the Corcoran Gallery is just around the corner)
Christopher Monckton, Orly Taitz, Bill O’Reilly and John Boehner will deny, or lament, all of it. If living well is the best revenge, celebrating the holidays well comes close to the best rebuttal of the hoaxes.
