Black Friday took an unexpected turn as Jill Biden, the former first lady, was spotted slipping into a high-end lingerie shop in Nantucket, raising eyebrows during the Biden family’s annual Thanksgiving getaway, the New York Post reported

The day unfolded with a mix of family outings, shopping sprees, and holiday traditions, all while former President Donald Trump stirred the pot with legal threats against Joe Biden.

Early in the morning, Jill Biden made her way to Ladybird Lingerie, a boutique nestled in Nantucket’s historic district, known for its alluring offerings described as “both pleasing to the eyes as well as the body wearing them.”

Jill Biden’s Solo Shopping Excursion

Decked out in a purple coat, scarf, and sunglasses, Jill cut a stylish figure while browsing the shop’s selections, notably without Joe Biden by her side.

While some might cheer a woman enjoying a bit of retail therapy, one has to wonder if this detour into luxury undergarments fits the image of a family-focused holiday trip.

After her morning indulgence, the Biden clan regrouped for a hearty lunch at the Brotherhood of Thieves restaurant, where Joe and Hunter Biden joined the party.

Family Time and Separate Paths

Post-lunch, Jill retreated to the sprawling $34 million Nantucket estate of billionaire David Rubenstein, a familiar haven for the Bidens during their last four Thanksgiving holidays.

Meanwhile, Joe and Hunter took to the downtown streets, popping into local stores and grabbing milkshakes, perhaps seeking a more down-to-earth vibe than lingerie boutiques.

Call it a split itinerary, but it’s curious how these personal outings seem to overshadow any unified family message in the public eye.

Evening Reunion at Christmas Lights

As evening fell, the family came together for Nantucket’s Christmas lights ceremony, a picturesque moment of holiday cheer.

Joe, bundled in a bomber jacket and gloves after recent radiation treatment for prostate cancer, had his granddaughter Natalie, daughter of the late Beau Biden, holding his arm in a touching display.

Yet, even this warm scene couldn’t escape the shadow of political drama brewing off-island, as Trump’s latest salvos loomed large.

Trump’s Threats Overshadow Holiday Glow

On the same day, Trump fired off claims about repealing documents signed by Joe Biden via autopen, dismissing the 83-year-old’s authority with a digital flourish.

Trump even threatened to have Biden “brought up on charges of perjury” if he insists staffers acted under his direction with the mechanical pen, a jab that cuts through the holiday spirit like a cold Nantucket wind.

While the Bidens may have sought a quiet holiday escape, Trump’s words remind us that political battles don’t take a Thanksgiving break, casting a long shadow over even the coziest family moments.
