President Barack Obama and his family will celebrate their eighth and final Christmas in the White House next month. On Tuesday, White House staff and first lady Michelle Obama revealed this year’s holiday decorations. They include nearly 70,000 ornaments, 63 Christmas trees, 56 gingerbread houses, and two very large statues of the Obama family’s dogs, Sunny and Bo. An estimated 68,000 people will visit the White House during the holiday season. There is no cost to enter. But, the very first people to see this year’s decorations were military members and their families. Michelle Obama welcomed them to the White House Tuesday. The first lady said the gold ornaments on the official White House Christmas tree honor military heroes.
