WASHINGTON — First dog Bo is upstaging the Christmas decorations at the White House this holiday season. The Obamas’ Portuguese water dog is in almost every room of the public tour, ranging from a miniature licorice-and-marshmallow version to a felt design 4 1/2 feet tall.

First lady Michelle Obama welcomed military families to the first viewing of the 2011 decorations Wednesday. “Shine, Give, Share” is the theme for the Obama family’s third Christmas in the mansion. Several decorations honor military families, including a Gold Star Families Tree with ceramic gold ornaments carrying personalized messages by families.
