It’s certainly beginning to look a lot like Christmas at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. A few military families and members of the press were invited to the White House on Wednesday for a sneak peak at the holiday decorations.

Among the trimmings: 37 Christmas trees, a 400-pound gingerbread White House and five replicas of first dog Bo made from felt, buttons, pompoms, candy and trash bags.
