Jill Biden got everyone’s attention when she unveiled the 2021 pandemic-themed White House Christmas decorations, called “Gifts from the Heart,” Monday.

The first lady showed off this year’s theme which is inspired by “small acts of kindness and experiences that lifted our spirits this year and throughout the pandemic,” the White House noted.
