Michelle Obama: 2009 'Reflect, Rejoice and Renew'
We love the 2009 White House Christmas Tree for its theme and its originality. The theme
Reflect, Rejoice and Renew was chosen for the Obama family because, as Michelle Obama
said:
Christmas and the New Year has always been a time to reflect on our many blessings, to rejoice in the pleasure of spending time with our family and our friends, and to renew our commitment to one another and to the causes that we believe in.
About 800 ornaments left over from previous administrations were refurbished and decorated by 60 local community groups from around the country. Each group decorated them to pay tribute to a favorite local landmark.
