Social media erupts as kids correct Jill Biden's 'Happy Holidays' with 'Happy Christmas:' 'Epic response'
First lady Jill Biden was shouted down by children for wishing "Happy Holidays" instead of Christmas, sparking laughter and joy from commentators online.
On Friday, the first lady hosted the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign at the White House. She greeted everyone with "Happy Holidays," to which multiple children shouted back with emphasis, "Happy Christmas!"
"Happy Christmas," Biden replied. "Yes!"
"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 attending military children during her remarks. "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 concluded with, "Merry Christmas and happy holidays."
