Clearly, Biden seems to give a fuck about whether or not Santa would go into cardiac arrest upon entering her home.

Biden was inspired by the people she met while campaigning for her husband as well as by the front-line workers who have persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic, The Associated Press reports.

“The things we hold sacred unite us and transcend distance, time, and even the constraints of a pandemic: faith, family, and friendship; a love of the arts, learning, and nature; gratitude, service, and community; unity and peace,” she wrote in a commemorative guidebook.

The State Dining Room boasted photos of past first families, according to the AP.
The White House was transformed into a winter wonderland with 6,000 feet of ribbon and more than 10,000 ornaments. The decorations were made possible with the help of over 100 volunteers, the AP reports.
Given Biden’s background in education, a second-grade class from Walford, Maryland, got to help the first lady reveal her decked halls on Monday while she read from her children’s book, “Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops.”
