Nixon's 1969 tree, ironically enough, is leaning to the left. (Also... EvenNixon's tree was crooked. Get it? Hoo-hoo.)

I know! Truman's 1947 tree sucks, right?

Carter's tree from 1977 was so awesome that it required a festiveyet intimidating garland barracade surrounding it.

The 1986 Reagan tree. I've got a fever, and the only cure is more randomshit on the 1986 Reagan tree.

The ornaments on Bush's 1991 tree are needlepoint figurines from Noah'sArk because nothing says Happy Christmas! like a worldwide genocideby drowning... portrayed in needlepoint.

Never mind Ford's 1974 tree, what's up with the pimpin' jacket?
