White House Christmas displays pets and warmth amid grief
President Bush, bundled against the cold, discussed national heartbreak from September 11 as he and Laura Bush unveiled the White House holiday decorations. The theme all creatures great and small features Noahs Ark animals including George Washingtons horse Nelson and the Bushes dogs Barney and Miss Beazley, plus quirky former residents like Adams alligator. A Barney cam will stream on the White House site as 7000 guests view the Red Room and Ellipse spruce, with 19 holiday parties planned.
