"Merry Christmas!" wrote Barack, 64, alongside an image of himself and Michelle, his wife of 33 years. "Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy." In the photo, the couple smiles brightly in front of three beautifully lit Christmas trees.
Michelle, 61, looked elegant in a lacy black dress paired with a turtleneck shrug sweater, while Barack opted for a relaxed style with a khaki bomber jacket layered over a black sweater and slacks. Sharing the same photo on her account, Michelle added her own message: "Merry Christmas! Barack and I send you our heartfelt wishes for a blessed holiday and joyful start to the new year."
The Obama Foundation also joined in the festivities, posting a Christmas greeting along with a nostalgic throwback photo of the couple. "Merry Christmas from the Obama Foundation!" the caption read. "May your Christmas be filled with unwrapping new possibilities and the warmth of time spent with your loved ones."
The Obamas have made it a tradition to share holiday messages each year. Michelle recently revealed just how many Christmas cards they send annually during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this month. When asked by Kimmel, 58, about the number, Michelle surprised the audience by saying, "You know, we checked. It's over 100,000." She explained that the list includes friends, family, business contacts, and foundation supporters, adding, "It's a lot of folks that we want to thank."
Last year, the family celebrated with sentimental posts on social media. Barack shared a family photo featuring their daughters, Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, while Michelle posted a sweet image of their dog, Sunny.
As the holiday season continues, the Obamas' warm wishes and festive photo remind fans of their enduring tradition of spreading joy and gratitude.
