Christmas is right around the corner! Call MWR Grand Central today to place your order for this collector's edition 2024 White House Ornament! 

This year, the Official White House Christmas Ornament design is a thoughtful presentation of historic moments from our thirty-ninth President Jimmy Carter's life and presidency, which we hope you enjoy learning more about. 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 shown adorned with poinsettias that harken back to the vibrant and festive White House Christmases he shared with his family.    

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 Seawolf-class 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 and in a keepsake box with an illustrated booklet on the Carter presidency. 

This unique sentiment is available at a great low price of $25 (tax free) which includes the ornament and a decorative gift box!
