US President Joe Biden and first lady Dr Jill Biden spoke with service members stationed around the world during a quiet Christmas celebration at the White House.

“This Christmas, Jill and I were honoured to thank a few brave men and women in uniform for their sacrifices this time of year,” Biden said in a tweet.

He added: “They’re away from their families to protect us. And they have the thanks of a grateful, indebted president.”

The White House said Biden and the first lady, Jill, called members of the Army stationed at Panama City, Panama; the Navy aboard the USS The Sullivans in the Arabian Sea; the Marine Corps at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego; the Air Force at Okinawa, Japan; the Space Force in Europe; and the Coast Guard aboard the cutter Bertholf in Alameda, California, the Associated Press reported.

On Saturday, Biden and his family joined a Mass on Christmas Eve at the White House and continued their holiday tradition of an Italian dinner.

The president and first lady on Friday also carried on another tradition with their second holiday visit to Children’s National Hospital. Biden was the first sitting president to join his wife when they visited hospitalised children and their families before Christmas last year, according to the White House.
