The unveiling of the White House Christmas decorations is a tradition each year after Thanksgiving weekend. Generally, this is a celebration led by the First Lady and, at least recently, each year the overall decoration has an overarching theme.
First Lady Jill Biden has stumbled a few times on these occasions, most notably with the hanging of only six stockings representing the Biden grandchildren, when Joe and Jill Biden actually have seven grandchildren (a fact they only recently acknowledged).
But the theme for this year's decor might set new records for tone deafness.
NEW: White House holiday decor invites visitors to embrace "their inner child" https://t.co/SnrtmZKLOD pic.twitter.com/4TpeRZu2Al

The White House is aiming for visitors to embrace 'their inner child' with its annual holiday decor, with a theme 'inspired by how children experience this festive season.'
The theme, 'Magic, Wonder, and Joy,' the White House announced Monday, attempts to capture the 'pure, unfiltered delight and imagination of childhood.'
Hoo, boy. Maybe not the best theme to choose when Joe Biden's own son calls him 'Pedo Pete.' As you can imagine, Twitter was quick to jump on the selected theme.
Joe’s gonna run with this one. https://t.co/abpr1GqJvE pic.twitter.com/h4LAjU7JAc

Joe has even insisted the whole place smell like children

At some point, you really must ask: are they this insulated away from public opinion, or do they know what everyone is thinking and they just don't care? We're kind of torn on that one. We suppose we should just embrace the power of 'AND.'
Others offered some different perspectives on the White House decorations.
the one killed and dismembered before it’s born? Or the one transitioned from boy to girl? Or the one being read pornography for kids?

Oof. That one hits hard. The Biden administration has fully embraced abortion on demand, 'gender-affirming care' (also known as child sterilization and mutilation), and other things like 'drag queen story hour.' Somehow, we don't think those things will be included in the decorations that show how, in Jill Biden's words, 'children experience this festive season.'
Biden's age and clear mental decline also came to many people's minds:

Sadly, we have a president who is sinking into his second childhood. Our country deserves better than this.

And then there was the question of what 'gifts' might be lying around the White House.
A baggie of cocaine in every stocking.

HA. The Secret Service will promptly announce that there is no way to tell who that cocaine belongs to or how it got there. It will be another unsolvable mystery ... in the most secure residence in America.
I hope they have a wonderful Christmas at the White House!

Most of America cannot afford basic necessities , not even Christmas presents! 🎁
This strikes a hard note too. The White House Christmas decorations are always a lavish affair (probably too much so, in every administration), but it seems particularly out of touch this year when America is suffering through all of the wonderful benefits of #Bidenomics.
And, of course, the question remains for the White House this year: how many stockings are you going to hang up for the grandkids?

Maybe Hunter's youngest daughter will finally get stocking this year. Though we're guessing she won't actually get an invitation to come and visit.
