Michelle Obama unveils her final White House Christmas decorations

Leave it to First Lady Michelle Obama to make sure that 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is the most decorated house in Washington, D.C. For the last eight years, Mrs. Obama has enlisted the help of some of the nation's best designers to make sure the White House exudes the Christmas spirit. For her final Christmas in the White House, Michelle, and her dogs Sunny and Bo, had the help of event designer Bryan Rafanelli to create the theme "The Gift of the Holidays" with decorations inspired by the first lady's Let's Move and Let Girls Learn initiatives.

The tree of all trees! The 19-foot Douglas fir stands tall in the Blue Room decked with gold and silver ornaments and decorated with a metallic garland that reads the preamble to the Constitution. The tree, which arrived the day after Thanksgiving, took four days to decorate, according to a volunteer decorator.
