Twitter Is Screaming Over the White House's Eerie Christmas Decorations
The White House unveiled its Christmas decorations today, and they’re very…red. Granted, red is a Christmas color, but there’s a fine line between “festive red” and, well, blood. The White House’s holiday decor is straddling that line.
Let’s take a closer look, shall we? One hallway is lined with Christmas trees that are so red, I feel like I’m watching that scene in The Shining where the hotel gets flooded with blood. If you stare at the photo below for enough time, you’ll probably start seeing those creepy twins holding hands and chanting, “Come play with us forever and ever and ever.” No, ma’am! I will not play in this house! I will run in the opposite direction back to my apartment, where my $15 tree is colorful and adorned with ornaments featuring the different Hollywood Chrises. (Get it? It’s Christmas! Melania, call me! I can help.)
Behold, the trees from hell:

I’m not alone in thinking there’s something off about this year’s White House decorations. Twitter is flooded with memes and jokes comparing its set-up to Suspiria, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Handmaid’s Tale, and, yes, The Shining.
Check out just a few reactions for yourself, below:

“The @WhiteHouse is sparkling for the Christmas season,” the First Lady wrote on Twitter to celebrate the decorations, which are mostly standard and fine.
But those trees! Please! Melania! Members of the East Wing! Do something to make them seem less malevolent. Add some green ornaments. Maybe some twinkle lights. Or leave them like this, but then fix climate change or go help asylum seekers at the border. These are your options! Thanks, and happy holidays.
