See the White House Christmas celebrations dating back to the 1800s

It's the most beautiful time of the year at the White House.

The West Wing, East Wing and every room in between have been decked out in elaborate decorations to celebrate the holidays, and President Trump and First Lady Melania are preparing to celebrate the holiday with their family.

This year's official theme is "Time-Honored Traditions," and there have been plenty of traditions through the years at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Here's a look back at presidential Christmas celebrations, going all the way back to the 1800's:
