No doubt! Lots of jealousy in this thread ROFL.
Well, maybe not that much.
"Sep 4, 2009 — About 70,000 to 100,000 people visit the White House each month." Don't know what the stats currently are. They could be higher or not.
Never-the-less, it's no skin off anyone's back if Coach was invited to participate in a White House Christmas reception. Let him enjoy the experience. Visiting D.C. is an amazing experience. Being invited to a White House Christmas reception is a once in a lifetime thing for almost anyone, specially if they are not among the wealthy who can afford to pay big bucks to attend such an event.
I've been to D.C. many times over the last several decades and somehow never arranged to take a tour of the White House, much less attend a reception there. Others in my group did and said it was a worthwhile experience. Instead, I had lunch in the Senate dinning room with my House Rep. It was a great, if very brief experience. He supposedly had another meeting to attend, so he chowed down in about 15 minutes and was gone. My cohort and I took our time finishing our lunch and enjoying the experience. I was excited because the dining chairs are the same as what I had/have in my dining room...who would have thought.
I still have these old lady antique ladder back chairs and want to sell them, so I can buy something more contemporary and iconic, like these Eames molded plywood dining chairs. I can't afford the originals so I will have to settle for knock offs.
Oh, and I also would like to have a 54" round marble top Saarinen tulip dining table to put them around. Knockoffs run around $3 to $4 G's. Yeah, I know, I have champagne tastes on a beer budget. My current antique Hepplewhite table seats twelve when fully extended. Big formal dinners are so passé. The last time I had that table fully extended was more than a decade ago.

Maybe I could set up a go fund me....LOL!
