First Lady Melania Trump unveiled the White House Christmas decorations Monday morning, declaring this year’s theme to be "America the Beautiful."

"Over the past four years I have had the honor to travel to some of our nation’s most beautiful landmarks and meet some of the most compassionate and patriotic American citizens," Melania Trump said in a statement from the White House. "From coast to coast, the bond that all Americans share is an appreciation for our traditions, values and history, which were the inspiration behind the decorations this year."
