Ho, ho, ho, hold onto your reindeer, because it’s time for some Christmas cheer with a conservative twist! This year, the White House Christmas decor took a turn that’s as surprising as finding coal in your stocking. First lady Jill Biden ditched the traditional stockings hanging over the mantle, leaving out one of Hunter Biden’s children while showcasing the rest of the Biden brood.
Navy Joan Roberts, the out-of-wedlock daughter of Hunter Biden, was noticeably absent from the festive displays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House spokesperson tried to explain this baffling move by stating that the Bidens plan to spend the holiday at Camp David instead and hang their stockings there. Maybe they’re hoping Santa will deliver some better decorating ideas along with their presents.

But fear not, dear readers, as the White House spared no expense in decorating the halls with over-the-top extravagance. With 98 Christmas trees, 34,000 ornaments, and a twinkling 142,000 lights, it’s beginning to look a lot like a taxpayer-funded winter wonderland. Let’s just hope the power bill doesn’t make Santa’s naughty list.
The theme for this year’s holiday decor is “The Magic, Wonder and Joy” of Christmas, inspired by how “children experience this festive season.” But with over 350 candles and 22,100 bells among the decorations, one wonders if the Bidens think the average child’s holiday experience includes being surrounded by more bling than in a Kardashian family photo shoot.
The White House holiday plans even include a gingerbread replica of the White House itself, made from 40 sheets of cookie dough and enough royal icing to sugar-coat the North Pole. But even in this sugary paradise, the Bidens haven’t addressed the elephant in the gingerbread room: what about the missing stockings?
The Bidens are spreading Christmas cheer, all right, with references to “Twas the Night Before Christmas” and invitations for visitors to enjoy the magic of the season. The big question hanging over this elaborate display is whether Santa Claus himself will make an appearance, if he can forgive the apparent stocking-size snub.
As the White House hopes to welcome approximately 100,000 visitors during the holiday season, all eyes are on them to see if they can make the naughty list nice again. And let us not forget to hang the stockings, no matter where they may be, for ’tis the season for generosity and kindness to all – even partisan quibblers like me!
