This close-up photograph of ornaments in the State Dining Room was taken by David Wiegold on November 28, 2022 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden selected "We the People" as the 2022 holiday theme. The decor was inspired by Americans' shared values and sentiments of hope, unity, and community. Trees were decorated with self-portraits created by students of the 2022 Teachers of the Year and Biden family-inspired stockings hung from the mantel. The official 2022 White House Gingerbread House was also displayed in the State Dining Room. A sugar cookie replica of Independence Hall, located in Philadelphia, was displayed alongside the gingerbread White House. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed at Independence Hall.
