Not even a latter day version of the iconic Charles Dickens could ever make the Ghost of Christmas Past (2008) dwarf Christmas Present (2016).
We the People are now writing the Christmas script and laying to rest the ghosts of Christmases Past.
Christmas under Obama was sadly bereft of the Christ Child, tradition, and sincere goodwill, with all things Christmas far more Marxist than Merry.
One of the first things the Pocket Messiah tried to neuter was the very thing a Judeo-Christian society looks forward to each year.
The first thing the newly-elected President Barack Obama did upon arrival at the White House was to make fun of it. Boasting that he was used to frigid Chicago winters, he made a big show of rolling up his sleeves, and having the heat turned down.
As if Barack Obama ever had to wait for a street car in winter-cold Chicago.
Depressing to recall that Barry Soetoro-cum Barack Obama, his overbearing activist wife, Michelle and their unelected consigliere Valerie Jarrett got to hunker down in the House once occupied by the heroic Abraham Lincoln and others.
Heartbreak moved into the Oval Office, which would never be the same again for eight insufferably long years.
The Obamas tried for a holier-than-thou Christmas message as their first one from the White House, when the Telegraph reported the sanctimonious Barack and Michelle telling the world “that one of their steadfast house rules is not giving Christmas or birthday presents” to Malia, then 10, and Sasha, 7.
Instead they were to gift them with long lavish holidays and trips to exotic ports of call that cost American taxpayers mega millions.
Christmas carols in 2008 couldn’t over ride patriot worries of the promise Obama had made one month earlier to fundamentally transform America.
Obama’s Marxist “Ho Ho Ho!” was a world apart from any shopping mall Santa.
Then came Christmas 2009 when the Obamas chose to decorate the White House Christmas Tree with deliberately outlandish ornaments, including an orb depicting infamously brutal Chinese dictator, Mao Zedong, and another depicting drag queen ‘Hedda Lettuce. Yet another ornament showed a picture of Mount Rushmore—with Obama’s head pasted to the side of Washington’s, Lincoln’s, Jefferson’s and Roosevelt’s.
His arrogant way of saying, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’.
Only White House staff had to see the Obama tree that mocked Christmas as not long after the tree was decorated, the Obamas left it standing in all of its controversial splendor, and departed on what was to be the first of many Christmas holidays to come.
Marring Christmas with a Marxist message seemed to be an Obama speciality.
Then there’s Obama’s first Christmas gift to the masses—ObamaCare—passed by an uncaring Senate on Christmas Eve, 2009, the one gift which was to linger on and worry average citizens for the rest of his tumultuous term.

For the Obamas last Christmas in the White House (‘Joy to the World’!), Christmas trees, which they call “Holiday Trees” are decked out in Obama style politics.
“Downstairs in the library, education is the theme. Ornaments on two trees are written with the word "girls" in 12 languages, honouring the first lady's "Let Girls Learn" initiative to help countries educate tens of millions of adolescent girls around the world.” (AP, Nov.29, 2016)
A Christmas time rebuke when it is considered that girls in countries over run by radical Islamists , if they are not first slaughtered, are being kidnapped, raped, sold into slavery, and continue to be unwitting victims of genital mutilation.
Other ‘holiday trees’ in the White House library are made out of crayons or pencils, a reminder to some that while university Snowflakes rate ‘Safe Spaces’, little kids in public schools must share bathrooms and locker rooms with adult transgendered.
Small fry in some of these schools are no longer identified as boys and girls but as ‘ze’.
Seems that the meme of all 2016 White House Christmas decor is the “me, me, me” Of Michelle.
The White House boasts its own gingerbread version.
“This year's replica on display in the State Dining Room weighed in at more than 300 pounds, including 150 pounds of gingerbread covered in 100 pounds of bread dough to form the white exterior. Models of Bo and Sunny sit out front, and Mrs. Obama's revamped vegetable garden is represented.” (AP)
Make that the organic garden that Barack Obama accused Donald Trump of wanting to dig up. (Daily Wire, Nov. 2, 2016)
“More than 90 volunteer decorators from 33 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico began arriving on Thanksgiving to begin the monumental task of decorating the White House, doing everything from hauling boxes and making bows to hanging lights and wreaths and trimming trees. The 19-foot Blue Room tree arrived on Friday, and it took four days to get it ready, said volunteer decorator Patricia Ochan, of Arlington, Virginia. (AP)
“The tree features mirrored ornaments and garland with the preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
The Obamas are finally paying a kind of lip service tribute to the U.S. Constitution on their way out the door.
To Barack and Michelle Obama, the preamble to the U.S. Constitution is a
Christmas decoration. To most Americans, it is everything.
Christmas with the Obamas seemed like it was never going to come to a merciful end.
But in 2016 patriots can finally write their own Christmas story.
Millions can now display the same joy they send out to family and friends:“It’s Baby’s 1st Christmas!”
Now the joy comes from just knowing “It’s Obama’s last Christmas in the White House!”
For those who worry that Obama will simply move over to the UN, he will now only be “EX President Obama”.
In the end, all the eight years ever got Obama was millennials aimlessly milling about in protest all because Hillary Clinton, defeated by Donald Trump, couldn’t deliver on his 3rd term in office.
In retrospect, that’s likely the best Christmas gift Americans and freedom-loving friends have had in eight rocky years.
Merry Christmas, to all! Your Christmas tree, no matter how scraggly, how bare or empty of gifts is far better than any of the Obamas’ ‘holiday’ ones!
