The White House’s East Colonnade is decorated with homemade animals and trees dotted with fake snow this year, according to the presidential website. 

At a viewing of the holiday decor last month, First Lady Jill Biden thanked volunteers for meticulously hanging the decorations, according to the Washington Post. 

“Now, some of you may still have a little glue gun residue on your fingers or a sore back from hanging up all that snow in the colonnade,” the First Lady said. “Yesterday, you might have thought, ‘If I have to tie just one more bow, I’m outta here!’ Am I right?”
