President Biden, and former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, shared Christmas messages with Americans Saturday as the more than 200 million Christians in the United States celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
"From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! May your time with loved ones be filled with warmth, comfort, and joy this holiday season," Biden said in a tweet.

Obama's Christmas message was more lighthearted than Trump's or Biden's. He tweeted a photo of his dog, Sunny, wearing a Santa hat in front of a Christmas tree with presents underneath.
