The Official 2024 White House Christmas Ornament honors President Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth president of the United States. The 2024 design is a thoughtful presentation of historic moments from his life and presidency, which we hope you enjoy learning more about. The ornament’s anchor shape represents Carter’s service in the U.S. Navy. Both the front and reverse side 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 reverse side of the ornament is the Seawolfclass USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23). Commissioned in 2005, it is the only submarine to be 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. This ornament ships with a ribbon for hanging in a keepsake box with an illustrated booklet on the Carter presidency.
Solid brass, finished in 24-karat gold, and screen printed with enamel ink. 3¼" � 2⅞" �½"

LINCOLN CHINA COLLECTION
Although teatime might remind you of Buckingham Palace and the streets of London, this tea set is reminiscent of highly recognized and revered dinnerware from American presidential history. Upon finding the lack of suitable china, First Lady Mary Lincoln ordered a new set for the White House, where welcoming prominent political leaders was a crucial part of diplomacy. These elegant, English Fine Bone china pieces are handcrafted, and hand decorated with gold accents to perfectly mirror the beloved tea set of President Abraham Lincoln.
