See the shockingly normal 2020 White House Christmas trees here. Note the following; and in response, I say – sincerely – “Bravo, Melania.”
“Blood-red trees these are not.“
The bold aesthetic choices that drew so much flak and snarky memes in Christmases past are noticeably absent. There are no blood-red trees, as there were in 2018, which various news outlets called “creepy” and “deeply haunted.” There is nothing akin to the icy, underlit branches of 2017 that turned the East Colonnade into what some likened to a barren, dystopian landscape.

Perhaps we can all return now to some semblance of normal? Gotta be worth a shot. Below is me with what one snarky correspondent commented “looks a little puny on the bottom.” To which I can only reply…
“Hey, we can’t all be as well-endowed on the bottom as 45 was.”
Guess we dub this one the inaugural salvo of the “Girther” movement?
Better late than never, that’s what _I_ always say.
Also: Feliz Navidad, y’all!
