All the Christmas decor in the White House is a clear violation of the separation of Church and State. It does nothing more than glorify, beautify, and promote Christianity.
Most cities do the same Christmas PR with lighting of the tree and lights in New York City and other cities in hopes of suckering X-mas shoppers to spend your savings on your bratty kids' toys that will break, choke on, or get bored with 1 week later. In January, you will be stuck with a maxed-out credit card that you will be fighting your spouse over.
They are even doing such Christmas festivals at public colleges. Such festivals are a rip-off of Chanukah.
People would be outraged if the government spent this kind of money to celebrate Ramadan, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Budism, etc.
