Additional Information
Issued annually by the White House Historical Association, Official White House Christmas Ornaments are hung on millions of Christmas trees each December. But the ornament program did not begin as a series. When the Angel Gabriel ornament was issued by the Association in 1981, it was an immediate success and the phenomenon began. Today the ornaments are a popular collector’s item and a long-standing and beloved tradition. This book includes the collected stories behind the design of each of the forty-four ornaments issued from 1981 to 2024. The forty-fourth ornament, made for 2024, honors President Jimmy Carter with a symbol of hope, an anchor decorated with symbols from Carter's life and presidency.
