2008 WHHA ORNAMENT

The 2008 White House Christmas ornament honors President Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901), the twenty-third president of the United States. This 24k gold finished ornament interprets the first recorded tree to decorate the White House. Beneath the tree are the presents the Harrison grandchildren received: a toy train, a wooden sled, a rosey-cheeked doll, and a doll house.

"We shall have an old-fashioned Christmas Tree for the grandchildren upstairs, and I shall be their Santa Claus myself." -President Benjamin Harrison
