“Gifts from the Heart”
Jill Biden’s Christmas “Theme for the Holiday Season”
Dr. Jill Biden is far too classy and wonderful – The World’s Most Interesting Woman – as we’ve called her, to add to her theme, “And one gift from just above the ass-cheek,” which is approximately where one is going to find the picture of Donald Trump and Melania on the White House Christmas Tree.
Hey, at least she included them. Can you imagine Melania putting a picture of Barack Obama on a White House Christmas tree? Any Black person? This is the woman who refused to invite Jill Biden to the customary FLOTUS tea during the transition. Michelle Obama gracefully invited Melania, despite that whole birther thing. But I digress…
The backstory is that Jill Biden decorated the White House holiday Christmas trees and included photos of past presidents and their spouses, many of the photographs came from Jill’s personal scrapbook and have never been seen before. There is a picture of Donald Trump and Melania, it’s on the backside of the tree, a little bit up. So, kind of like if you’re looking for a little birthmark on a person – perhaps a significant other – you’re going to really have to look for your target. It is not upfront with a beautiful smile. More like a wart.
Here’s the tree:
The Christmas trees in the State Dining Room are huge and covered with framed photos of the Biden’s and former first families at the White House during holidays. @FLOTUS [1] pulled many from her personal albums, never before seen publicly pic.twitter.com/4InOpsuSFn [2]

And if you look on the back of the tree, way back where people don’t look, you get the former guy and his wife:
And yes I looked. Tucked into the back side of one of the trees, there is one of Donald and Melania Trump. pic.twitter.com/2zmO66qOfu [4]

Now that is a great start to the White House Christmas season and once again proves our point, Jill is cooler than us, and it’s not really close, which – while being a bit of a bummer, that someone is that far ahead, we’re big enough to admit it.
The trees do look beautiful and – weirdly, the non-monochromatic theme, albeit a departure from all-white and all-red, is daring, we think it works. Kinda like everything else Jill Biden sets her mind to.
Twitter had a field day:
At the back…that is where we usually hang the homemade crafts and other ornament abominations that the kids insist on sullying our Christmas tree with.

That's actually a nice picture of them too. Their posed pictures are always horribly stiff, and Melania's decorating sensibilities are nonexistent. But this looks nice and holidayish.

So much Class from Dr Jill Biden @FLOTUS [1]. If it were the other way around, the Bidens wouldn’t have made it to the Christmas tree

HAHA. Right where it belongs.

Trump and Melania would have left out some first families they didn't like.
Trump's fave presidents are Henry Clay and Stonewall Jackson.
Why we shouldn't ban history books from schools.
