“Now to you, the people who brought this vision to life are volunteers. Yes. This would not be possible without your work. It’s been incredible to watch all of you transform this space year after year, and you trade time with families for hours gluing, you know, with hot, hot glue guns and, you know, and Thanksgiving wrists– leftovers for tired wrists from wiring ornaments to the trees because, you know, you can’t just hang it out to be, you know, hung perfectly. I know, some of you are perfectionists. That’s okay.”

“Thank you all for your heart and for everything you’ve done to make this possible. The People’s house. So for Joe and for me, these are the final holidays at the White House. So standing with all of you, I remember the first time we walked across this threshold right over here on Inauguration Day, and the gravitational pull of history guided us forward, wrapping us in the centuries of stories that live here in this house.”

STORYLINE:
It’s the final holiday stretch for President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, who has decked out the White House with some whimsical decorations to evoke the “peace and light” of the season.
The festive display includes a towering Christmas tree surrounded by a carousel, brass-colored bells and sleigh bells lining a hallway and a ceiling design that mimics snowfall.
The White House’s theme is “A Season of Peace and Light.”
The First Lady spoke to volunteers who had helped decorate the White House and thanked them saying "This would not be possible without your work. It’s been incredible to watch all of you transform this space year after year." The White House expects about 100,000 people to visit this month.
More than 300 volunteers spent past week decorating the White House’s public spaces and its 83 Christmas trees with nearly 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) of ribbon, more than 28,000 ornaments, over 2,200 paper doves and some 165,000 lights used on wreaths, garlands and other displays.
