According to New York Magazine, Donald Trump hates attending Christmas parties at the White House.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump will attend a total of 21 Christmas parties this holiday season. They’ll be expected to stick around each event for an hour or two, and this schedule seems to be similar to what is typically expected of each United States president, and has been a tradition since at least the 1960s.

White House staffers say the president has a “special loathing” for these holiday parties. Apparently, he tries to escape from them as quickly as he can.

Insiders say that the current president “hates every minute” of these Christmas parties. It’s rather well know that Trump loves large events and rallies where he is the center of attention. When it comes to these holiday events, though, it’s apparently an entirely different ball game. One insider says that, ultimately, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Trump despises these Christmas-related obligations.

“It makes perfect sense, because it’s not about him! If it were about him, he’d love it. Christmas is not about him.”

Last year, it seems that Trump got was particularly impatient with long lines where he was expected to pose for photo after photo with attendees.

While shaking hands with guests and standing for photos at a party last year, Trump spotted Mike Pence in the crowd. According to a second White House official, he forced the vice-president to take his place. “He and Melania left and subbed in the vice-president for the photo line,” the second official said.

This year, fewer Christmas parties will include this component. Apparently, that change has led to the president being in a better mood so far for this year’s events.

Trump also cancelled the Christmas Party for the press, so that is one less party he will be forced to attend.

However, it seems other are absolutely loving the parties.

A Christmas party held Monday night had many in Trump’s circle smiling for the cameras.
