A pared-back White House Christmas — with a Trump Lego portrait

 What to know

First lady Melania Trump presented a more minimalist Christmas display this year at the White House, themed “Home Is Where the Heart Is.” The decorations include a Lego portrait of President Donald Trump, 3D-printed ornaments and “Mrs. Trump’s signature wreaths.” The tour is smaller due to construction for a new ballroom. Public tours resume Tuesday.
