Number One Observatory Circle, the home of Vice President Joe and Dr. Jill Biden, gets a beautiful and elegant holiday transformation. The 19th century, Queen Anne-style house is decked out with giant wreaths hanging from the windows and lighted trees. This year's theme, reflected throughout the home's Christmas decor, is "Holidays Past and Present."

Just inside the front door, the Reception Hall serves as a warm holiday welcome to guests. The main tree shares this year's holiday theme through handmade and repurposed ornaments.

Dr. Jill Biden stands in front of the Reception Hall tree, greeting exclusive holiday guests into her home. Reflecting the theme of "Holidays Past and Present," the tree is decorated with miniature portraits of past vice presidents, from John Adams and Dick Cheney to Al Gore and current Vice President Joe Biden.

These vice presidential portrait paintings were done by elementary through high school art students in Georgia to celebrate the home's holiday theme.
