On Monday, the Trump family debuted their holiday card, which wishes Americans a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, instead of the generic, more politically correct, 'Happy Holidays.'

That's different from last year's card sent out by President Obama, which included a family photo and wished Americans a 'joyous holiday season.'

The Trump card is signed by President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and even 11-year-old Barron and was displayed in the White House's 'Bookseller's' area, as the Christmas decorations were unveiled today.

No 'happy holidays here': Inside the official White House Christmas card 2017

It's gold: The front features the presidential seal in gold - the Trump color of choice

The White House debuted the 2017 holiday card signed by the Trumps, which wishes Americans a 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,' not 'Happy Holidays'

During the Christmas decorations reveal, the Trumps debuted the Christmas card they're sending out, which doesn't use the more politically correct 'Happy Holidays'

Remember when? Democratic President Barack Obama and his family signed a 'Happy Holidays' card, wishing Americans a 'joyous holiday season'

The Obamas' 2016 card also included a family photo, taken when daughters Sasha (left) and Malia (right) attended their first state dinner - and no mention of Christmas

The Merry Christmas card keeps Trump's pledge to 'say Merry Christmas again' when he campaigned.

He repeated the pledge most recently in October at the Voter Values Summit when he said: 'They don't use the word 'Christmas' because it's not politically correct,' Trump said. 'We're saying 'Merry Christmas' again.'

The Obamas, in contrast, always said 'Happy Holidays' in their cards, although their defenders say the president used 'merry Christmas' in speeches.

But the Trumps did make common cause with the Obamas by including Barron, in the same way Sasha and Malia had been in their predecessors' cards.

While Barron did not play host alongside mom Melania today, he did guide Americans through this year's Christmas tour.

That's because an illustrated version of the first son is featured in this year's White House Christmas booklet, given to the throngs of tourists and guests who visit the executive mansion during the holidays.

The booklet, titled 'Time-Honored Traditions,' for this year's decorative theme, starts out with cartoon Barron on the cover guiding the horse-drawn carriage carrying the White House's Christmas tree.

The real Barron wasn't behind the wheel, though did a walk-around of the carriage last week alongside his mother, surveying the 18-foot, 6-inch Wisconsin-grown beauty, headed to the White House's blue room.

More importantly, Barron's attendance marked one of the 11-year-old's first official appearances at a White House event.

And it was evidence that Barron, the youngest Trump, had grown taller than his ex-model mom.

The holiday booklet begins by showing off Barron's penmanship, as he signs the welcome letter along with his mom and dad.

His cartoon doppelganger than takes visitors through the White House.

'Barron,' wearing grey slacks, a blue jacket, a white button down shirt, completing the outfit with a festive red scarf, is illustrated walking through the East Colonnade that is filled with white branches, giving the hallway the look of a forest directly after an ice storm.

The young Trump is then drawn in the Library, looking to pull a book from the Christmas tree, on hand, made entirely of titles.

He's then shown cutting out a silhouette, the decorations used to spruce up the Green Room this year.

The Trumps decided to decorate the Blue Room tree with bulbs from all the states and territories.

The Trump also adorned a Green Room fireplace mantel with the tiding 'Merry Christmas' instead of happy holidays

Barron's final appearance comes as he walks through the Grand Foyer and Cross Hall, which is decorated

It's no surprise that the ornament Barron is hanging is the one from New York, where he grew up before moving to Washington, D.C., this spring.

Cartoon Barron is last seen walking through the Grand Foyer – featuring icicle-drenched trees, as an homage to the Nutcracker – as the young Trump takes the Grand Staircase, up to the residence.

The illustrations were done by Jim Starr of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, the White House said.
