"The green-and-gold invite for the cocktail-attire festivities on December 15 said it was an invitation from The Vice President and The Second Lady for a Hanukkah Reception at the Vice President's Residence, but at the top of the invite it said The Golden Noel: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF CHRISTMAS AT THE VICE PRESIDENT'S RESIDENCE. An enlarged section of the invite is below. Screenshot via X."
"Sally McDonough, President George W. Bush's press secretary, apologized in 2008 after invitations to a White House Hanukkah reception included images of a Christmas tree being pulled by a horse-drawn cart and a Christmas wreath hanging on the White House. The error, McDonough said at the time, was because staff had printed the same holiday card for all the events, and new Hanukkah reception invites would be sent out."
An invitation for a Hanukkah reception at the vice president's residence prominently displayed the heading "The Golden Noel: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF CHRISTMAS AT THE VICE PRESIDENT'S RESIDENCE" while identifying the event as a Hanukkah Reception. The green-and-gold, cocktail-attire invite lists the date as December 15 and hosts as Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance. A similar White House error occurred in 2008 when a Hanukkah invitation included Christmas imagery, prompting an apology and replacement invites that featured a menorah gifted during Harry Truman's presidency. The 2008 mistake was attributed to staff printing the same holiday card for multiple events.
