12. Very grim and modern. Looks cold and uninviting.

It has zero holiday appeal. And no, I am not suggesting it needs red and green or even a manger scene to look appropriate for the holidays. We celebrate several holidays during this season. It does need something that says holiday. Not dark and dreary, cold and lifeless. But then maybe it reflects how Melania feels at this point in her life. “OMG! What have I bargained for? Am I going down with this doomed ship? Will there be any money left for me after all of this is over?”

Guess she should have thought of that before she entered into a contract with tRump. Didn’t she notice that all of his former wives and most people who do business with him get screwed over in the end?

I’d like to say I feel sorry for her. But I can’t. She knew who he was long before she said “I do.”
