The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, is celebrating American patriotism at the White House this Christmas. She has also honored American design, inventions and buildings. The traditional gingerbread White House sits beside the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge. “It is with great joy that our family welcomes you to the White House this holiday season as we celebrate the Spirit of America,” President Donald Trump and his family say in a signed book that visitors will receive. “We hope you enjoy our tribute to the traditions, customs and history that make our nation great.” White House officials showed the decorations to reporters on Monday before the president and the first lady traveled to London. Reporters also were permitted into the Naval Observatory, the official home of the U.S. Vice President in Northwest Washington D.C. Part of the White House is lined with glass panels etched with more than 60 examples of American design, innovation and architecture.
