Children Correct First Lady on Christmas Message

First Lady Jill Biden hosted the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign at the White House, continuing the tradition of bringing holiday cheer to children in need. According to Fox News, as she greeted the children with a warm “Happy Holidays,” they playfully responded with a spirited “Happy Christmas!”—a moment that sparked laughter among the attendees.

Biden responded to the children’s enthusiasm by highlighting the significance of love and support during the holiday season.

“Happy Christmas, yes!” Biden responded.

“If you only remember one thing for the holidays, after all the wrapping paper is cleaned up, let it be this: You are loved,” she told the children. “There are so many people who care about you, from your family and your friends, from your teachers and your classmates, to the president and me.”

She ended her remarks by wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas and happy holidays,” maintaining her original inclusive message.

The interaction between the First Lady and the children quickly gained traction on social media. Many users applauded the children for their lively correction, with some calling it an “epic response” and tying the moment to the broader debate over the so-called “war on Christmas,” a topic that has sparked considerable discussion in recent years.

“We are so back,” wrote conservative Catholic group CatholicVote.

Former NCAA swimmer and OutKick host Riley Gaines commented, saying, “Even kids understand.”

Conservative commentators have framed the incident as a welcome example of cultural pushback against secular holiday greetings. The children’s spirited response struck a chord with public figures and social media users alike, reflecting a shared appreciation for the significance of Christmas in today’s multicultural society.
