The heartwarming message appears on the family’s Christmas card, which Michelle Obama shared online Christmas Eve. The card features a tree and a red flower on the inside, and is signed by the former First Lady, former President from Barack Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia. The family’s two dogs, Bo and Sunny, are even included, as their paw prints appear on the card, The Huffington Post reports.
Michelle Obama posted the card on Instagram, and she captioned the post, “Wishing you a holiday season filled with friends, family, and joy.”
“Thanks to so many you for sharing your hopes and goals with me these past few weeks in the comments and on my Instagram Story,” she added.
“This type of positive and thoughtful engagement from my ‘Becoming Family’ is a reminder that there are millions of us out there constantly striving to become more mindful, compassionate, and caring people,” Obama wrote.
She concluded by encouraging Americans to “continue working to become even better — for ourselves and for each other. #IAmBecoming.”
The Christmas card comes days after President Obama was spotted spending the holidays golfing in Hawaii. Video has gone viral showing him greeting spectators and cuddling babies.
