White House Christmas Decoration Countdown: 12 Days
Counting down the days to Christmas with a daily morning post containing a photograph of the White House Christmas decorations. Have no clue why someone Jewish is doing this or how I got all these pictures — read the first post.
The China Room usually displays the White House china collection but during Christmas, the room is set up to pay homage to the family dinner with a fully decorated table.

So pretty!! Who is the lady in the painting with the dog?
Loribeth! That’s exactly what I was wondering!
It is Grace Coolidge, and you can see a close-up of the painting on her Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Coolidge (yes, I am a nerd)
I kind of figured it might be one of the First Ladies, but couldn’t think of who(m?)…! Thanks, Mel!
