This photograph of the East Entrance holiday decorations 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 Christmas tree above the entrance and garland of hanging branches below represented the feeling of sitting under a Christmas tree as a child and looking up at the branches and sparkle of lights and ornaments above.
