The Official White House Christmas Ornament: Holiday Tradition Stories, 6th Edition (Paperback) by Marcia Mallet-Anderson

Description

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-five ornaments issued from 1981 to 2025. The forty-fifth ornament, made for 2025 celebrates the history and traditions of presidential diplomacy by highlighting two iconic State China Services.
