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.

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