Description: White House Christmas OrnamentThe only president of the United States elected to two non-consecutive terms, Grover Cleveland served as the 22nd president and as the 24th. The 2009 White House ornament commemorates the 24th presidency. The 2007 ornament commemorates his first term. This second Cleveland ornament illustrates the special place of the Christmas tree in the holiday celebrations of President Cleveland’s young family. The central hologram depicts the south façade of the White House after an evening snowfall. The warm glow of the first Christmas tree to be illuminated by electric lights is seen through the tall windows of the second floor Oval Room beyond the center of the columned portico. The reverse side of the ornament recreates a scene from the tree-trimming parties of President and Mrs. Cleveland, which were held annually for their children and those of cabinet members. The words of a period newspaper report help to describe the president’s delight in preparing Christmas day for his young family. A finely crafted gold plated wreath of snowflakes, painted ice blue and white, frames the oval ornament.2009The White House Historical AssociationFront of ornament reads "The White House Christmas 2009", Reverse reads as shown aboveOrnament, insert and box in Brand New conditionOrnament measures 2.75 by 3.25 inches Box measures about 3 by 3 inchesCombine shipping, highest listing first then no charge for additionals
