As the oppressive summer heat prevails in Washington, D.C., Melania Trump is shifting her focus to the forthcoming holiday season. The First Lady has officially launched a call for volunteers willing to assist in transforming the White House into a festive wonderland for her first Christmas celebration there in four years. This annual tradition, steeped in responsibility, has often been met with both cherished moments and significant controversy.Following established White House customs, the Trump administration announced they are seeking entertainers and decorators to enhance the nation’s most iconic residence with seasonal cheer. For musical acts, Melania specifically invites school bands, choirs, and holiday-themed performers to lend their talents.However, prospective participants must adhere to stringent guidelines: applications, accompanied by audition recordings, are due by September 5. Decorating volunteers must be at least 18 and available from November 24 to 30, while covering their travel expenses. Social media reactions have highlighted Melania’s complicated history with Christmas themes, sparked by her earlier dismissive comments about holiday decorations during her tenure.
