Transcript of President Biden's final Christmas tree lighting at the White House

Five, four, three, two, one. This 30-foot red spruce represents the spirit embodied in this year's White House holiday theme, which Jill unveiled earlier this week. The theme is the season of peace and light, of peace and light. The peace we feel as we pause and reflect on our blessing, and the light, the light we see as we gather with loved ones that cherish our time together. May I wish for you and for the nation, now and always, as we continue to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness and compassion, dignity and decency. Merry Christmas, America. Merry Christmas, all of you. May God bless you all.
