While first lady Melania Trump’s spokeswoman and chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement Sunday that the White House parties will take place in “the safest environment possible” and noted a series of planned precautions, the gatherings contradict government warnings on events staged even partially indoors.
“Guests will enjoy food individually plated by chefs at plexiglass-protected food stations,” Grisham added. “All passed beverages will be covered. All service staff will wear masks and gloves to comply with food-safety guidelines.”
“Attending the parties will be a very personal choice,” Grisham said. “It is a longstanding tradition for people to visit and enjoy the cheer and iconic decor of the annual White House Christmas celebrations.”
