2024 WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
|
|
This year, the Official White House Christmas Ornament honors President Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth President of the United States. The 2024 design thoughtfully presents historic moments from his life and presidency. The ornament's anchor shape, an iconic symbol of hope, also represents Carter's service in the United States Navy. The North Portico of the White House is adorned with poinsettias that harken back to the vibrant and festive White House Christmases he shared with his family.
The front and reverse sides of the ornament feature peace doves, symbolic of President Carter's work for peace in the Middle East and, perhaps most significantly, the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed on the North Lawn of the White House on March 26, 1979. On the ornament's reverse side is the Seawolf-class USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23). Commissioned in 2005, it is the only submarine named for a living president. The globe at the center refers to Carter's lifelong work on environmental conservation. At the base of the anchor is a garland of peanut flowers, a reminder of Carter's years as a farmer and businessman in Plains, Georgia. How to Order Your 2024 Official White House Ornament
