Halloween at the White House


Anyone who’s ever been trick-or-treating knows that on Halloween night, some houses are more approachable than others. A house can look welcoming and friendly, with streamers and jack-o-lanterns; spooky but definitely open for business, with tombstones and cobwebs; or apathetic, with no lights on at all.

It’s hard to imagine a more intimidating facade than that of the White House. Sure, a nice family lives there, and the lights are always on. But it’s not the kind of place where you just go up and knock.

That didn’t stop the Obamas this weekend. They opened the doors to a full 2,000 children. The kids got to see Michelle Obama wearing cat ears and a leopard-print shirt. The president himself went with a Mr. Rogers-type sweater. Goody bags came packed with toys and cookies made by the White House chef.

The only thing the young visitors missed? Their peers. Sasha and Malia Obama were nowhere in sight.
