Details of 2023 Library Holiday Decorations, Biden Administration
This close-up photograph of decorations in the Library was taken by David Wiegold on November 27, 2023 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden selected "Magic, Wonder, and Joy" as the 2023 holiday theme. The decor was inspired by children and how they embrace and revel in the holiday season. The Library’s decorations honored the tradition of bedtime stories, with celestial stars and moons adorning the trees and nighttime scenes on display in the windows. Favorite and beloved holiday books could be seen throughout the room, along with a child's bed in the northwest corner of the room. A Christmas tree adorned with blue ornaments to match the night sky was also on display.
