Memes mock Melania

Memes mock Melania Trump's White House Christmas decorations

By Amy Graff

Social media is mocking a photo display of White House holiday decorations that some say look rather haunting.

While most of the decorations appear traditional, one hallway has a more modern, stark display. The First Lady's Director of Communications Stephanie Grisham also sent out a tweet with the image of the hallway decorations that many are deeming eerie and spooky and better suited to Halloween than Christmas.

One Twitter user pointed out that the dimly lit hallway lined with dead branches painted white looks like the perfect spot to tape a "Stranger Things" scene.

Another took the shadowy image and Photoshopped in Jack Skellington.

Someone also joked the decorations are reflective of First Lady Melania Trump's goth phase.

The White House unveiled its holiday decorations this week, issuing a video (below) of the Balsam fir trees sparkling with lights and ornaments adorning rooms throughout the White House.

A press statement from the White House says the decorations were designed by First Lady Melania Trump "with a nod to tradition" and paying "respect to 200 years of holiday traditions at the White House."

The theme goes hand-in-hand with President Trump's belief that America needs to restore the tradition in Christmas. For example, he routinely makes the point that we should use the more traditional greeting of "Merry Christmas" over the politically correct "Happy Holidays."
