Former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden sent their Christmas well-wishes in a pair of Twitter photos on Saturday, with Biden and First Lady Jill Biden in front of a fireplace displaying their grandchildren’s stockings and Obama’s beloved dog on display.
The names of their grandchildren, Natalie, 17, Finnegan, 21, Navy, 3, Naomi, 27, Robert II, 15, and Maisy, 20, were decorated on the stockings hanging behind them.
‘From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! May your time with loved ones be filled with warmth, comfort, and joy this holiday season,’ the POTUS‘s tweet read. He wore his usual navy suit, a crisp white shirt and blue tie, while Jill looked immaculate in an off-white wool dress with gold details.
Biden will be spending the holiday with his family at the White House, per reports.
Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama offered his holiday well-wishes alongside his Portuguese water dog, Sunny, who’s wearing a Santa hat in front of a Christmas tree.
‘Merry Christmas, everybody! This year, I got a little help spreading holiday cheer from Sunny,’ Obama said.
‘Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful holiday season with the ones you love.’

Just a day before, Biden once again boasted his love of chocolate chip ice cream in a letter to Santa Claus in his first Christmas Eve message as president.
The president shared a video on Friday showing him enter a festive room filled with Christmas decorations carrying a plate of cookies.
Biden sets the plate down next to a Christmas tree and a roaring fire as he writes a note.
The camera zooms into the page as Bing Crosby’s White Christmas plays.
‘Dear Santa, there is chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer if you would like some. Love, Joe’ the note reads.

Earlier that day, a parent cheekily told Biden ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’ during the NORAD Santa Tracker event with First Lady Jill Biden at the White House complex on Friday.
The first couple were hosting kids and their parents in the South Court Auditorium at the time and talked to people virtually.
A dad named Jared beaming in from Oregon said ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ – code on the right for ‘f**k Joe Biden’ – after his kids told the president what they wanted from Santa Claus.
Reporters in the room said that Biden seemed unphased. ‘Let’s Go Brandon, I agree,’ the president said in response.

‘I think the let’s go Brandon stuff is harmless and funny, but if you tell someone to go f**k themselves when they are being nice to your kid, you’re just a d**k. Merry Christmas!’ said Tommy Vietor, a former aide to President Barack Obama
The first lady’s spokesman Michael LaRosa answered ‘Yep.’ after conservative blogger Erick Erickson said the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ utterance was in ‘poor taste,’ as the internet swifly reacted to the dad’s dig
The clip of the exchange got immediate reaction online, with conservative blogger Erick Erickson commenting: ‘Confession: I find it in poor taste to tell the President of the United States “Let’s go Brandon” when the man just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas. Good manners should still matter.’
The first lady’s spokeman Michael LaRosa answered ‘Yep.’ to Erickson’s tweet.
‘I think the let’s go Brandon stuff is harmless and funny, but if you tell someone to go f**k themselves when they are being nice to your kid, you’re just a d**k.’
