2022 State Dining Room Holiday Decorations, Biden Administration

This photograph of the holiday decorations in the State Dining Room was taken by David Wiegold on November 28, 2022 during a press preview of the White House holiday decorations. For their second year in the White House, President Joseph R. Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden chose the theme, "We the People." The theme was inspired by the shared values of the American people and the promise of unity, hope, and possibility that represents Americas history. The decorations in the State Dining Room included self-portrait ornaments created by students and teachers from across the country. On the mantel were the Biden family stockings, each with an orange in the toe -- a family tradition passed down from Dr. Bidens grandmother.
