Few holiday scenes in the capital carry as much weight as a crowd gathered at the White House after dark, a Christmas wreath hanging on the presidential mansion as the focal point. Presidents have long marked the season with a decorated executive residence open to visitors, and the wreath became a familiar emblem of that tradition. Look closely at the evening light and the bundled figures in the crowd, which show how public and seasonal the house's holiday presence has been.
