Yes it’s always good to have a convicted sex offender and fraudster as Prez.
A level of class that is utterly unsurpassed.

Jacqueline was truly a class act.
The dearly missed era of civility & simplicity.
Even his speech on lighting the White House Christmas tree 🎄was eloquent. President Kennedy was truly a great speaker. We will never know what could have been. His assassination😢 Change the course of history forever. RIP 😢

Never before, and never again will we see the Culture, Style and Elegance that President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy brought to the White House and America. People today can't comprehend how much Mrs. Kennedy's Style was copied in Interior Design, Historic Preservation and Dress. Her magnificent Interiors ought to be restored, especially her Scenic Wallpaper in the Family Dining Room and her magnificent Blue Room which has NEVER been Surpassed in elegance. Thankfully her Red Room is still faithful to her original design in most aspects.
Days when we were proud of our President and what he did for our country. This video is so beautiful. Thank you for bringing this to us. They are truly missed! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

One can be proud of their country and not like who's currently leading it. It's an American right believe it or not. You don't have to hate your country just because there's an ass in the White House. If anything, that makes one determined to save their country. @@barbraseville8984

Absolutely divine, as was the Thanksgiving video, which unfortunately I missed until now. The JFK years truly were a golden time. I missed it because of my age but I've been enthralled by this era most of my life. Camelot indeed. Thank you, Faith!

Watching from England, wonderful content ❤
How I loved President Kennedy. as a young girl coming into adulthood shortly, I was devastated by his assassination.. Mrs Kennedy adored her husband.... it was very visible.... I was honored to walk thru the President Kennedy Air Force One at The Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. I looked at the narrowness of the plane... where seats would be cut out for office settings .The Presidents being the largest. There was a sign pointing to where his casket lay... trying to imagine, I looked w.great sorrow. The HORROR for Mrs. Kennedy. UNIMAGINABLE... I said a prayer...🙏🏻🙏🏻😢 ❤

President Kennedy had class, he could give a speech without many notes, took questions from the press(had a great rapport with them) and didn't need notecards to tell him which side of the stage to exit.

President Kennedy knew how to deal with the media with class and humor.
The days of elegance ENDED when the Kennedy's were forced to leave our White House!
Those of us alive during his presidency can,t understand why every piece of information available will not be disclosed, I can,t imagine anyone in awe of anything disclosed with the current ruination of our standard of living, would we be surprised of anything today?

It's becauae a few people who were involved, are still around. Plus, the $Sixth Floor Museum$ doesnt want the truth to come out. They make millions off of the Oswald did it, narrative.
When strong leadership and class were in the White House
Both President Kennedy & his Lady fair look so elegant addressing the people on Christmas Day in the White House ! Wishing all members of the House & everybody A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year !❤️🎅🎉🌹
Pure elegance and tradition, unforgetable!
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing 🎄🌟🎄
I never knew they initiated the toys for tots program that was a bit of information I did not know they truly were an amazing couple Setting such an example Sad it was taken away from them and the country And world 🤨
Lovely pics. So sad of what happened for them 😢
Hopefully in a couple of years there wull be another Kennedy Christmas in the White House. Bobby and Cheryl would make an amzing first couple.
Thank you!! ☮️💟

That white dress is everything!
In Texas some families have gumbo or tamales on Christmas Eve snd ham & beef tenderloin on Christmas Day. Then pork tenderloin, pork chopss or ham, black-eyed peas & cabbage on Nee Year's Day!
Nice very good. Happy new year. Beautiful well done. God bless them all. Super
He is very simple and great personality
Great leader 😊

I think at that point they were electric but way back in history there were real candles however people put up their tree just days beforehand Christmas so the tree was still fresh and less of a fire hazard.

The current White House tree on the lawn has already been replaced because the needles fell off. The new one was blown over by wind, and a crane was brought back in to lift it up. What does that tell you? It doesnt want to be there.

Except that Kennedy cheated on his wife too.
I wonder if they could put up a nativity scene in the White House today?
25th day of Sept !!!!
7:57 In his Christmas speech President Kennedy says "... on the 25th day of September"
He did mistate the date of Christmas. He said September 25. I know he meant December.
Pena não ter tradução em legendas...
5:37 with Iran's king Pallavi and his wife
JFK said September 25 as the Birth Day of Jesus…✅🇺🇸🥰…..9 months earlier at Chanukkah 24th Kislev Mary received the WORD of GOD, and it took on flesh. On the 25th of December, GOD’s answer to his ancient enemy.
Top! Incroyables robes, jamais vues auparavant… elle les a ruinés…

After seeing Dr Jill Biden's tacky and unsophisticated WH decorations, and her strange video of weird dancers prancing through the WH, I wish for the taste and class of Jacqueline Kennedy. You can't buy class and taste Jill. Even with your stolen money.
Back when the president a respected god fearing and loved his country type of man not someone like that horrible trump person
