Sometimes it is even difficult to admit to bias as a factor. We all would love to think that we are better than that.

But now,  more than I can ever recall, it seems as if everything is tinged or infused with what is swirling around us.

I long for boring.

Right you are @Oznell. Several years ago when my chldren were in elementary school, I volunteered to work at the Scholastic Books bookfair they had at their school. (I love books, so I had lots of fun "working" there, lol). I bought a book for myself called "The White House, An Illustrated History" by Catherine O'Neill Grace. Lovely pictures of "the people's" lovely house.

I love Scholastic Books!  I took on that job just to be able to see them all.  I took a class in Children's Lit a long time ago, I particularly love the art work.

So, Hallmark is listing tonight's show as lighting of the National Tree... That one, I can miss... The National Tree isn't really among my favorites. The US Captiol Tree is historically more lovely...

Wow, the one calling people demonic and stating that nobody gets to have a differing opinion is a bit beyond.

The only thing that really struck me, aside from the one hallway pic with the lights out, was that in the green room and the red room, I didn't care for the tree in the middle of the room right under the chandelier.   Is the chandelier supposed to represent the star atop the tree?  Or is it just the angle that makes it look as though the tree comes right up to the bottom of the chandelier?    I just didn't care for the placement.

It looks like to me they centered the trees on the center medallions in the rugs... It's different, I sort of like the look for a change... I could be wrong, but I'm not sure the green and red rooms always have trees. I know they're always decorated, but it seems the mantels are most often the focal point.
