It was a virtual army, and many were volunteers. Still: can you imagine the work that went into all that? Hand-made ornaments? The cookies? Putting all that fruit and flowers into place? Yikes!

That would be worth turning the tv on for. I agree, trying to get the WH decorated in 48 hours? I have a 3 bedroom house I've been working on for a week! :(( Ooh, Thanks Brian! That would be worth turning the tv on for. I agree, trying to get the WH decorated in 48 hours? I have a 3 bedroom house I’ve been working on for a week! :((

They showed them bringing in the 17 trees, 600 yards of REAL garland, homemade wreaths, making the bows, the gingerbread White House, and a ton of other decorations. The main tree in the Blue Room is 18 feet tall (I think that's right), and it barely fit through the front door. And they had to have everything decorated within 48 hours of bringing it all in. I don't envy the White House Staff during times like this. It'd be nice to visit there, but the stress of working there would be a killer!
