The music was lovely and the really old books were great.
Thank you for showing every room and taking detail shots of the decorations. I thought they were beautiful! Loved the tree with the train. Some decorating were hand made. I make decorations for my house too. And so colorful!
Beautiful Nativity scene! Thank you for taking us through. 🎅
Look at 9:23
The Nativity & the historic Christmas stories from the Library of Congress were amazing!
Wow, the White House outdid itself this year! A Christmas wonderland! Decorations are just gorgeous, one gets a feeling of warmth and love. Sooo Beautiful....kudos to the Designers. Love it! 🎄🎀🎁
Awesome decorations...kids will love them!!!
Thanks Andrew for allowing us to be able to see the spectacular things through the lens of your camera, things that we as your long time viewers would never get to see. Absolutely stunning….
Beautiful! Thank you!
This was wonderful! Thank you so very much!!
Whoever was responsible for the overall design this year, knocked it out of the park! I think this may be my favorite year for White House Christmas decorations.
If you are a child maybe. Too childish for me.
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850 You sound fun. 😂
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850☹️ is this you? You have no child left in your spirit at Christmas? 😮. I feel sorry for you. Why did you watch this video which was wonderful? To complain? Merry Christmas and bless you. 😊 Tis the season for love, joy, peace in your heart. This was a wonderful escape for children who will tour and never forget. Most adults will too.
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850I agree but you have to think...childish is aboutvas you get will Jillie Girl.
The theme this year is Christmas Through Children's Eyes. The decorations were done by a company from Knoxville, TN called Glitterville.
Carnival / Circus atmosphere ......... definitely substandard overall.
Fitting theme given who is currently residing there.
@@cindytrayer4279try and keep up. The orange bozo no longer lives there

Wow! I'm from Sri Lanka. I will never get the chance to even visit the USA and your video of the WH was amazing. Thank you for showing this video tour.
Beautiful christmas decorations..Merry Christmas America. Merry Christmas Mr.President Biden God Bless America🙏👍
Wow it looks so cold and sterile compared to the stately homes in the UK what open for Christmas, places like Chatsworth House and Castle Howard etc
why are people gonna be haters on here anyways I think it is magical and family friendly etc. 🎄
it's a bummer because of extenuating circumstances I didn't get to volunteer to put up decorations this year normally I help with that..
The gold star family tree is lovely. Not sure why we have kid friendly decorations when very few children actually see the inside of the White House. I prefer a more classic look in the White House.
After delivering her holiday message, the children of National Guard families, as well as local military families, will be treated to a special performance by the cast of the North American tour of Disney’s stage musical “Frozen.” And because it's child oriented this year maybe those seeking a pass will bring children.
Aww the candy hall was so delightful!
GOOD EVENING!🕯
Magic, Wonder and Joy ❤🤍💙
Very good
Beautiful. Inner child. JOY and MAGIC. Thanks so much
Thank you so much! This was such a nice video.
I would love to walk through there and see all the decorations. Thanks for sharing
Hope Donut man is open now for you hahaha
Considering Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, not one religious thing here. Says a lot about this supposed Catholic family.
He wasn't born on Christmas
If you had actually watched the video you would have seen that there is a huge Nativity scene in the East Room. So the fact that you are spreading a false claim says a lot about your moral and religious beliefs, and it isn't good.
That is absolutely beautiful ❤
Waiting to see Trump back in the WH
The only way you'll see Trump back in the WH is if he's on work-release and cleaning the WH toilets
@@elinc9975 LMAO even your cnn is having a meltdown over his polling numbers! I’m getting ready for those liberal tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. If there was anything to put him in jail for, he’d be there now, especially with all these rabid, corrupt lib lawyers and judges. So GTFOH
Beautiful. Thank you P6!
The White House looks much like a Christmas fantasy wonderland as if from a childhood fairytale story.
All to lure the little kids in
@@jocarroldodds1410Really? During the Christmas season? You are one sick, sick individual. Go Bah Humbug yourself
@@jocarroldodds1410 Trump was adjudicated by a court of law to be a rapist, and I bet you have no problem with that. So this thing you have where those who don't share your personal political views are trying to "lure little kids in" is extremely sick, and only makes it easier for actual pedophiles to get away with it.
@@jocarroldodds1410….Kind of like the story of Hansel and Gretel. 😊
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 Exactly 👍
Th e theme sure came thru, it is delightful.
Jesus is the reason for the season! I don't see much of Jesus here. 👎 Bring back Trump!
Trump was adjudicated to be a rapist by court of law so I guess you support rape, and rape is a violation of both the Ten Commandments and the deadly sin of lust. So that says a lot about your moral and religious standards and makes your "Jesus is the reason for the season" sound so hollow.
You are so lost! I pray you find Jesus!🙏🙏🙏
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 so true!
That will be determined by which route the U.S. Marshals drive him on from the courthouse to the prison.
@@KayeAllen-jz4st If my being "lost" for you is because I refuse to vote for an adjudicated rapist to be President then perhaps you need to ask yourself how hollow your moral and religious views are because it is you, not I, that wants to make a known rapist President again.
I am overwhelmed at all the work that is done..
I wonder, I have not seing a picture of the beautiful Melania Trump ! But Michelle’s Obama, yes! How come?
That Nativity Set was impressive!
Thank you for the wonderful tour! What a privilege to be able to view all the decorations, so appreciated!
Privilege? Don't say that! That will stir the pot with those who will holler Black Lives Matter!
Wonderful - here in Australia we don’t really do Christmas displays as extravagantly and I just loved it all.
I'd like to know how Australians "do" Christmas, especially since you're in the middle of summer. Do you have Santa? And how does he get around!
As Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere occurs in the summer season, for many the day is a day to spend at the beach.
On a fall visit to Australia while shopping I recall seeing, in a display of stationery, a calendar for the new year featuring a photo of Santa standing in a field of sunflowers.
Same here in New Zealand, my own place i just do the lounge and dinning room, the older i get im finding im not putting as much up as i have other years.
The theme and decorations are unique and beautiful. Truly a traditional Christmas.
Where is Christ Jesus in all this. Where is the elegance. It’s all garish commercialism. 😞
Perhaps you should have watched the video because PenguinSix shows the Nativity that is on display. As to elegance its there, but if you want to talk about "garish commercialism" that is part of the Christmas celebration whether you like it or not.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888
You mean the nativity scene without a baby Jesus???
@@jburnett8152 The baby Jesus is in the Nativity. You can see the baby Jesus between the Virgin Mary who is wearing a blue stole and a figure wearing what looks like a yellow cape.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888…. That sounds like the…Walmart version of the nativity, Friend.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 I think it’s the same nativity scene that’s been in the Whitehouse for years.
I love how they decorated the rooms so there would be something for everyone. The kids who are lucky enough to tour the White House this year are going to go bonkers over all the toys and candy. I can't begin to image how many hours it took the legions of decorators to do all the work. It was nice to see references of the presidential pets, too. Thanks for the camera tour...I only wish it could've lasted longer.
Makes me think how big department stores use to decorate when I was young
I had the same thought! Back when it was magical and all happened overnight the day after Thanksgiving.
What and offend someone. Forget the Christmas decorations they are a thing of the past.
Yes❣️ State street in Chicago was like walking into Winter Wonderland; everything was so beautiful…..It was very Magical for the Children’s of all ages.
@@louisaberrios1789 yes my parents took us up by train to see Santa in Chicago every year it was truly magical as decorations didn’t go up till a couple of weeks before Christmas so the excitement and anticipation was great
@@louisaberrios1789 So true!! We used to take our kids to State Street to so the windows decorated for Christmas!! It was so magical. One time we saw a man get on one knee and propose to his girlfriend in front of the windows! It was so special.
This is amazing. Absolutely beautiful and so much fun especially for the kids. This is what Christmas should be. I’ve never seen such beautiful Christmas decoration. Life music and all.
Thank you Jill.
Very children and family centered. The Gold Star tree for gold star families is very touching. Wasn't the music beautiful ? They managed to mix classic decor with whimsical candyland! Charming! Kudos to the planners and workers who helped Dr. Biden put on a lovely visit to the White House at Christmas. Love it!
Dr. Who?
@@caroltiller5116Dr. Jill Biden Ed.D, she has a doctoral degree in education so technically yes you could call her Doctor Jill Biden
Dr.? Not of Medicine. PHD. There is a difference.
That struck me as well. Very magical and child oriented.
I am glad they had Gold Star tree for Gold Families. DR. JILL did good in remembering our that we even had a military. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD HELP THIS NATION. I wrote you a whole paragraph but decided This isn’t really a time for politics. THIS IS THE TIME TO CELEBRATE THE CHRIST THAT IS IN CHRISTMAS.
That was so fantastic seeing all the decorations inside! That was special for me. Thank you Andrew for filming all those wonderful rooms! ❤❤
Willy Wonka for sure
Wow, Andrew! Well done! I've never seen the White House Christmas decorations so up close. You got some incredible shots. Thanks, P6!
😅
Excellent. Just wish you could have gotten a closer look at the Gingerbread House but great shots, thanks!
Totally waste citizen money.🎉
Did it say, "Merry Christmas" anywhere?
Good footage, ty.
No
What would you expect from this fr_udulant ad_inistration?
It usually doesn’t. Hasn’t in the last three administrations.
The decorations spoke quite well for saying Merry Christmas without the need for a sign to say it.
@@CheriOnTheBayou Just because the person you supported didn't win the election doesn't make the one who did have a "fr_udulant ad_inistration," and only reveals that you are willfully bearing false witness which is a violation of the Ten Commandments.
The decor nailed the wonderment and awe I felt as a small child seeing decorations for the first time. Every new display was a joy to behold. Well done and a much needed positive tribute to America! Thanks for the sneak preview.
Good afternoon Andrew,
Thank you for this lovely video it was an eye opener,
I really like all your videos and appreciate all your time you put into making them
I send you my best wishes for Christmas and the New year
From here in Australia
Wow that was really beautiful I’ve never seen the White House decorated inside. Thank you so much 🎄
Beautiful! Enjoyment for all generations. Thanks for sharing
That was really beautiful! I've never seen the decorations before. Thank you!
Where is baby Jesus ???? 😢😢😢😢😢
In the East Room. Nativity scene.
There is a beautiful Nativity scene that you would have seen if you would watch the video.
Enchanting, the overall theme sincere homage to what America is on its pleasant capabilities . The trees in music orchestra were breathtaking, all sections for children will be a joy for them . The reflection of the First Lady Jill Biden on reading through history, For children is excellent .Thank you from UK.
What America is? What is that? Are you trying to be divisive or what? America never was anything. Remember that.
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850I don't know where you live but it must be a really ugly place if the people can't say anything nice.
Thank you Andrew! This was a wonderful tour with all the meaningful decorations and really enjoyable music! Well done!
Just seeing each room in my mind without the decorations…!!! Praying for our country and its people……thanks so very much this tour was 😻
The theme First Lady Jill Biden chose this year is Christmas Through the Eyes of Children. The decor is done by Glitterville, a company from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Each decoration is so fantastic!! Colors, music, I realy enjoy!! Thanks for the tour!!
Many thanks for sharing our beautiful White House Christmas. Loved the live music too👍👍🎄❤️
So much of it look like a child's story book, so much COLOURS ALSO I THINK MRS KENNEDY ,AN MRS JOHNSON HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR BY HAVE ALOT OF COLOURS AN OBJECTS ON DISPLAY❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL DONE😊😊
What a lovely walk. Merry Christmas!
So grateful for this! You did a spectacular job. It felt like we were with you in person! I'd heard the First Lady wanted us to feel like children again when we experienced the decorations. I think she and her fabulous team of professionals and volunteers hit it out of the park! I felt like a child visiting the big department store windows downtown when I was a child. Just outstanding! Thank you again.
Like a child? Yikes! Grow up people this is not Candy Land.
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850 I guess you don't have an inner child. A shame.
It is for grown-ups who are young at heart which evidently doesn't include you. You sound miserable. So sad@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850
Wow! The White House inside looks like a beautiful Christmas fairytale! It is amazing what they do each year! Everyone must see this. 🎄✨✨
Andrew- Thank you for this video. I loved it! The Gold Star Tree in honor of our military is beautiful. I loved the licorice dog- that is the Biden's dog, right? Was that entire arrangement made of licorice? It was tooo pretty to eat. The room with the White House China and gingerbread was beautiful. The Nativity was beautiful. I would love to be able to put up a Christmas tree in every room of my house. All the trees here are toooooo beautiful- all unique and different. My favorite tree was the Blue Room with the train. Are the musicians military people also? Mrs Biden looked good in her ice-cicle blue pantsuit. Again, thank you for sharing this video.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing so much up close including the China, books etc.
Not my style of Christmas decor!
What's your style? Love hearing about/seeing all the different ways people like to decorate for Christmas.
What a feast for the eyes! So much creativity like I’ve never seen before. The music was especially nice. So magical with all the delight that Christmas brings. Truly Stunning 🌟
What a wonderful tour of the White House Christmas. My daughter had the pleasure of being one of the decorating volunteers this year. She said it was an amazing experience. These people work so hard in such a short few days to get this put together. Great job.
I’m sure it was amazing for your daughter to be part of this beautiful and memorable experience. Thank you daughter for being a volunteer and helping out in decorating, bringing so much joy to our White House and all of us. I’m sure it was a lot of fun and a memory she will hold dearly.
Thank you 🌲⭐️🎉
Stunning…A CHILDRENS WONDERLAND…Love It
My cousin is Aspen Bergmann. She leads a team of decorators that are chosen to decorate the White House. She did an amazing job on the rooms she and her team were chosen to decorate. She is selected every year for the honor.
More people need to see this full tour of wondrous christmas splendour. It was a sublime bounty, a full feast for the eyes, that left every taste fulfilled. This is Christmas people! Not a single inflatable minion in sight.
Minion?? What's up with that?
@@deborahj.dirk-halley1850
Gru, minions ... it's a movie and now a Xmas inflatable
Gaudy, gaudy, gaudy...there isn't any breathing ro9m. Clutter everywhere. And that bed? OMG...
@@JudiThompson-s8h they're displays or vignettes, no one is living in those rooms
But an awfully lot of money spent that América doesn't have because of Ukraine.
Absolutely stunning and so playful. Spectacular!
Que loco es el mundo que en todo momento tienes contradicciones. Antes se quejaban de Melania porque supuestamente cambio los colores de navidad, ahora en la administración Biden es similar. De todos modos felicito a Melania y a la actual primera dama Jill por ser tan creativos. Pero dejemos el sarcasmo y saquemos jugo a la creatividad.❤
I admire the whole scenery simply gorgeous WOW❤ We love it. A truly wonderful fairy land line with every children's dream and a dash of historic memories from ourt past ❤
Great filming of such a beautiful place! The portraits of Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Ford, as you first walked in, were lovely.
Congratulations on your fabulous photography. You did a wonderful job. These decorations were simply breathtaking. So very traditional and special....simply delightful and inspiring. Very impressed with the joyous vibe it was putting off. So family oriented. The Marine Corps band was marvelous. Music throughout was spectacular. Thank you so much! Your photography was precisely beautiful.....job well done. May God Bless all. Sincerely, Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.
I have seen pictures of the White House but never a walk through tour. Combined with playful and honour to patriots in elegantly designed Christmas decorations, reflecting our President and First Lady are truly value the heart of our nation. Thank you Andrew for sharing the experience.
Beautiful nativity scene and loved the old cloth books. The rest is great for children. Will Navy get to see it?
What great decorations... old school! I loved the military kids' ornaments... what a great idea.
Gawdy
I saw some vintage Christmas ornaments ad vintage candlestick holders on the 1 Christmas tree that we also have. I was given my great grandmother's extensive Victorian Christmas decorations that adorned the Historic Rowe hom in Milford Michigan. The Rowe home was also my family home. 🎅❤🎅
Cool! The only advice I have is to not use the vintage candlestick holders with lit candles that go on the tree on your tree. Anyways, have a Merry Christmas!!!
The inside tour was beautiful and really put me in a Christmas mood.
Thanks for the grand tour of the White House. May you and yours have a great holiday !!
The Green Room was the most elegant place in the People’s House. The rest of it looked like Disney on steroids.
More like some horror - driven Willy Wonka Nightmare!
Beautiful Christmas decorations. Thanks for the sneak peak!🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄
I absolutely adore the Christmas decor this year! It’s such a beautiful mixture of all different styles of Christmas decorations! All are done very tastefully, even the more child like ones, which are my favorites! All are stunning though! Kudos to our First Lady & her team! 🎄
LOVE THIS!!!! Thank~you for sharing this!
"Merry Christmas",
Andrew.
You are the best!
Details ... & on time.
Many Blessings

Already given my news on the views, I so feeling nostalgic here being a widow, no, not a merry one, but a poor one, understand tku 1 cheers all good wishes for the New Year 2024
Compliments of the Season and hoping the New Year 2024 will be a jolly good one, so cheers! once again
Wow.... now this is truly how the White House should be decorated. Kudos to all who participated in the decorating. Very well done. Merry Christmas to the Biden family and all of America.
Wonderful! I'd really like a chance to inspect those china cabinets! Merry Christmas, White House, and peace to us all! ☮️
Thanks for the thorough tour! Lingering for a few moments on more of the trees and displays would have been a bonus.
I really enjoyed your tour of the White House Christmas decorations. They were fantastic. You really gave us the experience as if we were actually there.
What a wonderful decorations!!! It's beautiful.
You seemed surprised by the nativity. It has been put up since 1967. in the niche of the east room. Usually, the niche is curtained off. The East Room features a Neapolitan crèche, or Nativity scene, with over 40 figurines, most dating back to the eighteenth century. The crèche has been displayed during every White House holiday season since 1967. Good pictures and I love these decorations this year. But good tour and I thank you.
Thanks for giving some background to the Nativity display.
Thank You! This was amazing! Beautiful! Fantastic! :)
Thank you! This was a great video! You really got all the good shots. I felt like I was there. 🎄
Beautifully done. A sense of family and old traditions in the displays, something that seems to get lost over time. The ornaments made by the military children were really good! The addition of the musical ensembles added to the sense of family Christmas. Overall it was awesome. Great video. Thanks for sharing P6. ❤
Thank you for your time making this. This is the most beautiful White house Christmas I have ever seen. Thank you again for your great service and great video's
That was so much fun - thanks very much for showing us all the decorations! ❤🎄
Thank you. That's very kind. I use all the donations to pay for Christmas care packages for the homeless so you should see your money in use in a few weeks. Thanks again.
@@Penguinsix I think you have enough subscribers that you could do some "fundraising" videos then UA-cam does not take a cent, unlike they do with Super Chats. Just a thought.
Thanks Andrew for taking us on the tours... you’re the best!
The music was fabulous!
What a treat... thank you for a delightful exerience! 🎄🌟🌌🎁🔔🦌🇺🇲❤️
What an honor to be invited inside the WH. Quite the wow factor. 🎄
Seems someone has a sweet tooth. 😁A lot of interest in those jars of candy. 🍬 🍭
