Joe Biden Won’t Put Up With Any Malarkey When It Comes To Decorating The Biden Family Christmas Tree

Stephen Colbert visited the home of Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, on Thursday night for a wide-ranging interview on the president-elect’s plans for America, given that Donald Trump will be removed from office. In a more light-hearted segment centered on the holidays, the Bidens shared their optimism for everyone having a “normal” Christmas next year, which dove-tailed into Dr. Biden revealing her husband’s strict rules for decorating the family tree.

Thanks to a tradition started by his father, every year Biden makes his wife help him whip homemade “snow” for the tree using Ivory Snow powdered soap, which the president-elect swears looks like real snow. After that, it’s time to put the tinsel on the tree, and in a surprisingly meticulous move, Biden insists that each strand is placed individually and not just tossed onto the tree like most normal people do. In fact, there’s a “pecking order” amongst his children for who gets to go first placing a strand. Biden also revealed that he’s up until 3 a.m. decorating the tree for Christmas morning to make it look like Santa did the job, and he still does it to this day.

The segment was a nice diversion from the heavier topic of the Republican attacks on the Bidens’ son Hunter, who’s currently under federal investigation for his business affairs. While the president-elect says he’s willing to look past the attacks on his son for the good of the country, he does consider the GOP’s tactics to be “kind-of foul play.”
