“Doni dal cuore” è il titolo del tema scelto dai Biden per le decorazioni del loro primo Natale alla Casa Bianca. Joe Biden e la first lady Jill hanno presentato il progetto lunedì 29 novembre, spiegando:

“Le cose che riteniamo sacre ci uniscono e trascendono la distanza, il tempo e persino i vincoli di una pandemia: fede, famiglia e amicizia, l’amore per l’arte, l’apprendimento e la natura, la gratitudine, il servizio e la comunità, l’unità e la pace. Questi sono i doni che legano i fili del cuore della nostra vita”.

In una sola settimana oltre 100 volontari hanno aiutato a decorare l’esterno e l’interno della Casa Bianca con ben 41 alberi di Natale, quasi 2mila di nastro colorato e oltre 78.750 luci natalizie. Ogni stanza celebra un “dono del cuore” diverso. I corridoi dell’East Colonnade e dell’East Landing sono adornati di colombe e stelle cadenti, per onorare il servizio dei lavoratori in prima linea nella lotta al Covid. In primo piano c’è un albero di Natale che onora i militari, i quali “hanno dato la vita per il nostro Paese e le famiglie che portano avanti la loro eredità”.

La biblioteca, invece, è decorata con uccelli e farfalle creati con giornali riciclati che rappresentano il dono dell’apprendimento.

La “Sala Vermeil” è decorata con vernice e pennelli colorati e rappresenta il dono delle arti visive. La “East Room”, la sala più grande della Casa Bianca, rappresenta il dono della gratitudine. È decorata con un presepe napoletano, esposto in ogni stagione natalizia dal 1967, che comprende oltre 40 statuette del diciottesimo secolo. La “Blue Room”, dove si trova l’albero di Natale ufficiale della Casa Bianca, rappresenta il dono della pace e dell’unità. Ci sono colombe che scendono a cascata sull’albero e che trasportano stendardi con in rilievo ogni Stato e territorio degli Stati Uniti.

La “Red Room” è stata decorata per rappresentare il dono delle arti dello spettacolo. Nell’albero ci sono ballerine, scarpe da tip-tap e note musicali. La “State Dining Room” rappresenta invece il dono della famiglia. C’è una riproduzione della Casa Bianca fatta con 55 strati di pan di zenzero. Ci sono poi otto repliche dettagliate di edifici della comunità per onorare i lavoratori in prima linea, tra cui un ospedale, una stazione di polizia e una caserma dei pompieri.

Il “Grand Foyer” e la “Cross Hall”, infine, rappresentano il dono della fede e della comunità. L’area è decorata con candele galleggianti e nei corridoi sono raffigurate scene invernali di paesi e città, a rappresentare i legami delle comunità.
