House Party: White House Christmas Decorations, Meghan and Harry’s New Abode, Cleaning Tips That Germaphobes Swear By

Every year, like clockwork, just as the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers disappear, the holiday season kicks into full gear with gift shopping and decorations galore. And around this time of year, we here at realtor.com® love talking about ways to get your home holiday-ready.

That’s why it felt like the perfect time for Natalie, Rachel, and Erik to discuss the just-revealed Christmas decorations in the most famous home in the country, the White House. What did they love? What inspiration can you take for your own home? And what’s up with those all-red Christmas trees?

The holiday season is also synonymous with party season. And if you’re hosting a festive shindig of your own but are stressing out about the germs about to be tracked in and out of your home, we have an easy-to-follow cleaning plan for you. There’s a good chance you’re focusing on disinfecting the wrong parts of your house!

Our hosts also discuss a unique home for sale that took nautical decor to a whole new level by putting a sailboat inside the home. Erik breaks down how, exactly, the massive sloop was maneuvered inside, but we highly recommend checking out the pictures of the boat in the original article to fully grasp this feat.

Hear all these stories and more on this week’s episode of “House Party.”
