More than 14,000 red ornaments hang from 29 Christmas trees in the hallway crossing into the Grand Foyer and Cross Hall. “The choice of red is an extension of the pales, or stripes, found in the presidential seal designed by our Founding Fathers,” the White House said. “It’s a symbol of valor and bravery.”
