This pic of the White House decked out for Christmas looks like hell on Earth
Goodbye, Thanksgiving. Hello, Christmas.
The official war for Christmas has begun in the Trump White House as the administration unveiled a sneak peek at its decorations for the holiday season.

On Sunday, Stephanie Grisham, the White House director of communications for First Lady Melania Trump, tweeted this nightmarish scene from inside the White House, as she was putting finishing touches on the decorations. Bunches of dead trees illuminated only from the bottom cast a horrifying shadow on the hallway's ceiling, leading to a lonely Christmas tree at the end.
The internet was quick to point out that the whole scene was more spooky than festive — which is actually quite fitting for the Trump presidency.

Now, to be fair, when the White House turned all the lights on during the day for the big reveal on Monday, the scene looked very different. Still, it looks pretty spooky at night.

While, sure, some people may like the way the White House looks this Christmas, the conversation behind that horrifying picture is what's going to be burned into the back of my eyes when I shut them at night.
