Reactions Stirred by Obama’s 2024 Christmas Photo

People Are Reacting to the Obama’s Christmas Card for 2024

The internet is buzzing over the recent holiday card shared by former President Barack Obama. He took to Twitter to send festive greetings, and folks have plenty to say about it. “Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful day filled with gratitude and joy,” he posted along with the card, which has drawn thousands of interactions.

Interestingly, the photo he shared is not new; it actually dates back to 2013, meaning the Obamas have opted to recycle an old family photo for this year’s card. Some users couldn’t help but point out this lack of originality. One person quipped, “If I were those kids, this would be my Christmas card every year, too,” suggesting that the image has a certain nostalgic charm.

As reactions continued to pour in, questions about the children in the picture emerged. “Who are these kids?” one user asked, expressing confusion over the unfamiliar faces surrounding the Obama family. Others chimed in with playful comments, like imagining the awkwardness of being dressed as elves for a family photo with parents they don’t know.

There were also calls for an updated picture. “You need an updated picture,” another Twitter user remarked, highlighting the need for freshness in annual holiday greetings. A simple search unveils a slew of images from previous holiday gatherings featuring the Obama family along with various other children. These memories date back as far as 2009, showing just how long this tradition has been going on.

Despite the skepticism and amusement, there’s a hint of affection for the old photo. Many fans expressed their fondness for the festive spirit it brings, even if it means sticking with an image from over a decade ago. As one fan noted, the nostalgia is undeniable, even if the families have changed. Will we see a fresh family photo next year? Only time will tell.
