President Donald Trump, now in office, enjoys a personal and longstanding Christmas tradition as revealed by his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. During the festive season, the President is gifted framed family photos, a gesture that resonates with him and finds a place on his Oval Office desk.
"Every year he gets basically framed photos of us with him," - Lara Trump
In a conversation with the New York Post, Lara Trump discussed the challenges of selecting presents for the President. Despite the difficulty, the family has established a tradition that consistently delights him. "Every year he gets basically framed photos of us with him," Lara stated. These tokens of familial affection are not only anticipated but are also a fixture in the President's workspace.
The process of finding an appropriate gift for the President is admittedly tough, as Lara expressed a desire to reciprocate the dedication he shows to the nation. "I feel bad because as the president of the United States, he's giving so much to us as a country, we want to be able to give something great back to him," she commented.
Gift-giving for President Trump's grandchildren is a simpler affair, with First Lady Melania Trump taking the lead. Another cherished tradition among the grandchildren involves sneaking into their grandfather's office to indulge in his well-stocked candy supply, which includes favorites such as Starburst, Snickers, and M&Ms.
The festive season for the Trump family is marked by communal gatherings and time-honored practices. This year, they plan to attend Christmas Eve mass at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the Episcopal church in Palm Beach where President Trump and Melania exchanged vows. The family's holiday celebration is not just limited to relatives; about 500 members of Mar-a-Lago, along with potential celebrity guests, are expected to join, perpetuating the social aspect of their Christmas festivities.
At their Jupiter, Florida residence, Lara and Eric Trump embrace the holiday spirit by decorating their Christmas tree with a blend of sentimental and patriotic ornaments. Handmade ornaments by their children, official White House ornaments from Trump's first term, and MAGA hats as tree toppers, symbolize the confluence of family values and national pride during their celebration.
This annual dilemma of what to gift a president who seemingly has everything was shared by Lara Trump via a tweet, which included a link to the New York Post article that detailed the Trump family's holiday traditions.
