Do you want to support a great cause this Christmas season, an organization that promotes the preservation of, and education about, the White House? The White House Historical Association is a wonderful, non-partisan, group of people dedicated to preservation of American history.
"The White House Historical Association is a charitable nonprofit institution whose purpose is to enhance the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the White House. To fulfill its purpose, the White House Historical Association produces educational literature and films, develops special programs, and maintains a web site interpreting the White House and its history and the persons and events associated with it. From private funding and the sale of its educational products, the Association supports the acquisition of artwork and objects for the White House collection and contributes to the conservation of the public rooms. "
Every year the Association authorizes the "official" White House Christmas ornaments. Senators, Congresswomen, Federal employees, and residents of DC know all about these lovely treasures that add class and charm to any holiday display. It's time the rest of the country learned too.
This year's ornament commemorates President Garfield. You can view a picture and order the ornament here: http://www.whitehousehistory.org/shop/p-2005
Happy decorating!
