White House Ornament 2011
$24.95
The 2011 White House Historical Association Christmas Ornament honors the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. The 2011 ornament reflects the excitement that President Roosevelt, his wife Edith, and their six children brought to life at the White House. The front of the ornament is a color illustration derived from a political cartoon drawn by William A. Rogers in 1901. A jolly Santa Claus crosses the snow covered North Lawn with a bag full of goodies, and announces "I hear there are some kids in the White House this year." The reverse features an image inspired by a period illustration, capturing the moment when young Archie Roosevelt reveals to his family a Christmas tree he had hidden in a closet in the White House. The tree defied the president's ban of using cut trees, which went against his conservation ethic, and its discovery became a popular Christmas story. Each ornament comes packaged in a printed gift box. - 2011 White House Historical Association Christmas Ornament.
