The president showed off the White House all aglow in a heartfelt holiday message.
President Joe Biden narrated a stunning tour of the decorated White House and wished the nation a “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays” in a video posted to X on Tuesday. (Watch it below.)

A previous Biden holiday post triggered some conservatives because he didn’t mention Christmas specifically. But in a reverent voiceover for the White House excursion, the outgoing president noted “how silently the wondrous gift is given” from a passage in “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” He also spoke of the birth of the child “Christians believe to be the son of God bringing hope and love and peace and joy to the world.”
