First Lady Melania Trump’s 2025 White House Christmas theme, Home Is Where The Heart Is, illuminates the heartfelt character of America within the People’s House.

The First Lady’s creative inspiration is drawn from the joys, challenges, and frequent motion derived from motherhood and business. “The constant movement has taught me that home is not merely a physical space; rather, it is the warmth and comfort I carry within, regardless of my surroundings,” America’s First Lady reflects. “This Christmas, let’s celebrate the love we hold within ourselves, and share it with the world around us. After all, wherever we are, we can create a home filled with grace, radiance, and endless possibilities.”

Fostering the Future Red Room
First Lady Melania Trump appointed renowned designer, Hervé Pierre, to oversee the implementation of her creative vision. Blue butterflies illuminate the “Fostering the Future Red Room,” a transformational experience dedicated to the foster-care community, a cause the First Lady has championed since 2021. The striking color combination coupled with the butterflies symbolic meaning of transformation and renewal capture the essence of Christmas.

Mr. Pierre also created a limited-edition tour booklet—an artful keepsake that captures the magic of this year’s White House’s holiday theme for guests to treasure.

REPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY – Protect Those Who Can’t Speak For Themselves

See something? Say something.

If you witness or suspect animal cruelty, don’t stay silent. Every moment matters when an animal’s safety or health is at risk.

How to Report:

Call your local police department — They handle all animal cruelty cases and have Humane Law Enforcement Officers who can take action.

You can remain anonymous — What matters is helping the animal.

Contact Gloucester County Animal Control — They can investigate but cannot sign criminal complaints.

Gloucester County Animal Shelter

856-881-2828

Important:

Do NOT take matters into your own hands or enter private property to remove an animal. This can be dangerous, considered trespassing, and may jeopardize the legal case.

Let the professionals handle it. Your role is to make the call.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Extreme temperatures — 90°+ heat or 32° and below cold — can be deadly.

If you’re concerned, speak up immediately.

Your quick action can save a life.
