In a Facebook post, the U.S. Department of the Interior shared its appreciation for a few specific holiday decorations at the White House this year. “We are incredibly honored that the White House featured our nation’s public lands in this year’s holiday decorations,” the agency said.
This year’s White House holiday decorations theme is ‘We The People’, words that symbolize the very foundation of the United States and the Soul of the Nation.
“Each room and design element throughout the White House holiday décor represents what brings us together during the holidays and throughout the year,” the White House says on its website.
And indeed, every room in the White House has its own specific theme. Of particular interest to national park fans is the East Room, where the fireplace mantels display four iconic American national parks.
