What Happens Inside the White House on Christmas

#cinematic #lighting #cinematiclighting #movies #photography

This video explores how Christmas comes to the White House—from the arrival of the official Christmas tree to the transformation of 132 rooms by 150 volunteers, the century-old lighting ceremony on the Ellipse and its troubled history, the President's Christmas traditions at Mar-a-Lago including his annual video call with deployed troops, and the famous New Year's Eve bash that closes out the season. Along the way, we uncover who actually pays for White House decorations, the hidden light in a 1941 tree that still guides Marine One home, and why the theme "Home is Where the Heart Is" means something different to everyone who experiences it.
