The 2023 WHHA Christmas Ornament
The 2023 White House Historical Association Christmas ornament commemorates the 38th President of the United States, Gerald Rudolph Ford. This year’s ornament features a festive wreath inspired by the handcrafted Christmas decorations the Fords selected during their time at the White House.
The festive wreath features various emblems, including dolls, cherubs, doves, stars, flowers, gingerbread men, candles, pentagon balls, and red ribbons with the words “Christmas 2023” and “The White House.” The back of the ornament incorporates five emblems related to the life and presidency of Gerald R. Ford.
- “Troop 15” signifies Ford’s success in earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest possible rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
- Football “48” represents his athleticism and the number he wore when playing for the University of Michigan.
- A likeness of Liberty recalls the family’s famous golden retriever.
- The Bicentennial pin signifies President and Mrs. Ford’s contributions to celebrating the 200th anniversary of America’s founding.
- The emblem for the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) highlights the first-in-class aircraft carrier commissioned to honor the 38th President as the flagship of Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group.
The White House Historical Association was established in 1961 by First Lady, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, to provide educational information about the history, appreciation, and preservation of the historical furnishings and artwork of the White House. Through fundraising and retail sales ranging from various books, accessories, toys, beloved Christmas ornaments, and more, the WHHA uses these proceeds to fund the investment of the White House preservation.
For the past 42 years, since 1981, the beginning of the ornament program, The White House Historical Association has partnered with Beacon Design to create unforgettable keepsakes that commemorate the American presidency. The WHHA introduces its annual ornament every February, and it is available for purchase year-round. From the design process, production, packaging, and many steps in between, the WHHA and Beacon Design have worked closely to bring each unique vision to life.
