A few days after Thanksgiving, US First Lady Jill Biden revealed how the White House has prepared to celebrate Christmas and New Year's, which will be the first for Bidens during the presidential term.
According to People, the first lady and over 1,000 volunteers have worked on decorating a total of 41 Christmas trees that were installed in the presidential residence. The interior was also filled with 25 festive wreaths, 1,800 meters of ribbon, more than 300 candles, 10,000 other decorations and 78,759 lights, according to the outlet.
However, her sense of holiday style apparently doesn't coincide with that of a number of social media users. Many have suggested that the decorations are not colorful enough, with some of the trees looking outright "ugly."
Where's the color? Looks like a giant tree with night lights all over it.

The majority, nevertheless, appreciated the decor, saying it is better than some of the previous Christmas decorations put up by former First Lady Melania Trump.

Others noted that not all of Melania’s decorations were bad, saying some were much better than the current White House.
Melania always oversaw beautiful Christmas decorations at the White House. It may not have been her favorite task but they were tasteful & lovely.Critics went out of their way to slam her. This us tasteless crap the $1 store wouldn’t put up. Fake presents/commercial ugly @FLOTUS https://t.co/FTUjMcfvfS
