Meaning Behind the Theme
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden shared their thoughts on the theme through a message in the holiday guidebook. โAt the holidays, Americans come together every year in fellowship and faith, reminding us that we are stronger as a community than we are apart,โ they wrote.

The Significance of Community
In their message, the President and First Lady emphasized the importance of community strength saying, โThe strength of our country, and the soul of our Nation, come from you.
