Michelle Obama’s post comes after President Obama surprised children ahead of Christmas Day. The former president of the United States visited a prekindergarten class at Parkside Community Academy, located in Chicago, wearing a Santa Claus hat and holding a red sack full of gifts.

As Obama entered the classroom, he greeted the children, who had no idea he would visit them. As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, students cheered and were visibly excited. “Oh, my God,” one student yelled as informed by the local news publication.

Obama reportedly began chanting “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Kwanzaa,” “Happy Hanukkah,” and “Happy New Year” while sitting on the floor with the students.

“Who’s gonna help me get up?” Obama jokingly asked. In response, the group of students quickly gathered around him and eagerly volunteered to assist him in standing up. The light-hearted moment showcases the warmth and humor that Obama is known for.
