The 44th president of the United States received an outpouring of well-wishes from Twitter fans, who returned the sentiment and let him know that his leadership was missed. The virtual love for President Obama caused “Merry Christmas, Mr. President” to trend on Twitter on Christmas Eve, and most of Christmas Day.

Don’t spill your eggnog, but here is a sample of tweets from fans:

While celebrating the Obama family, some Twitter users seized the moment to poke fun at Donald Trump, who was impeached last week by the House of Representatives. Trump complained after a Christmas Eve talk to the troops that he was being treated unfairly by Democrats during the impeachment process. He added that Senate Republicans would conduct the impeachment trial “however they saw fit,” The New York Times reports.

On Christmas Eve, former First Lady Michelle Obama shared the family Christmas Card on Instagram, showing Barack and Michelle Obama with their daughters, Sasha and Malia. Also in the image were their two dogs, Sunny and Bo.
