First lady Jill Biden has chosen “We the People” as the theme for the seasonal White House holiday decorations, according to a release from the East Wing.
“As our country gathers for the holidays, traditions may vary, but our shared American values – a belief in possibility, optimism, and unity – endure season after season,” President Joe Biden and Jill Biden wrote in a welcome letter in the White House holiday guide. Jill Biden selected the theme several months ago, according to the release, and over the long Thanksgiving holiday, more than 150 volunteers descended on the White House to decorate the public rooms.
The Red Room is the “Faith & Light” room with “towers of candles” and, as has been the tradition since 1975, fresh cranberries as part of the décor. The room also includes orchids, Jill Biden’s favorite flower. Again this year, Biden family members’ stockings will hang from the fireplace mantel in the State Dining Room, each with an orange in the toe, which is a tradition from the first lady’s grandmother.
