This year, the Christmas stocking display at the White House looked a bit different as it did not feature all of President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden's grandchildren in the lineup. The absentees were particularly noteworthy since the first couple had recognized this year their son Hunter Biden had an extra-marital child with a woman previously associated with adult entertainment.

This shift comes after the president and the first lady embraced the new addition to the Biden family, Hunter's daughter Navy Joan Roberts, and the fact that she is their seventh grandchild.

Despite this, the stocking arrangement for the Biden family grandchildren at the White House during the 2021 and 2022 holiday seasons did not include Navy. Instead, it featured the three daughters Hunter shares with his former spouse Kathleen Buhle and his son from his present marriage to Melissa Cohen.

When questioned, the spokesperson for the first couple noted that their Christmas plans involved spending the holiday at the Camp David presidential retreat, and thus, the stockings would be hung there.

This was followed by the first lady's grand reveal of the christmas decorations at the White House. The decorations, an extraordinary display of the holiday spirit, includes around 98 festive trees, approximately 34,000 ornaments, and over 142,000 lights sprinkling festive spirit all over the presidential abode.
