WHITE HOUSE HOLIDAY 1997 CELEBRATES SANTA'S WORKSHOP
Washington, DC This year, the President and First Lady would like the White House to reflect
the December holidays as seen through the eyes of a child. They chose Santa's Workshop as this
year's holiday theme, to recognize the hopes and dreams of our next generation. As in past
years, the First Family has invited specific groups and individuals from around the country to
create ornaments to adorn the White House Christmas Tree. Members of The Council of Fashion
Designers, The National Needlework Association, and the American Craft Council were invited
to create ornaments depicting characters or scenes from Santa's workshop.
The official White House Christmas Tree, an 18 1/2 foot Fraser Fir located in the Blue Room,
comes from the Grouse Ridge Tree Farm in Grassy Creek, North Carolina. The tree is adorned
with creative versions of "Santa's suit", designed by fashion designers from The Council of
Fashion Designers of America. Also hanging on the tree are glass and needlepoint ornaments
depicting characters, scenes, and imagery from Santa's Workshop.
The green velvet handmade tree skirt consists of individual panels designed by artisans from
each of the fifty states, territories, and the District of Columbia. The quilted hunter green panels
are each uniquely designed, using a variety of quilting techniques.
The mantlepieces in the Green and Red Rooms have been designed and decorated under the
direction of artist Christopher Radko with the assistance of a number of American artists and
craftspeople. The mantle in the Red Room reflects a scene in Santa's workshop, with elves
feverishly working to complete the toys, teddy bears, musical instruments and other Christmas
gifts that will go to children around the world. Santa can be seen in the workshop, making a
last-minute inspection of their work. The mantle in the Green Room features a night-time scene
in Santa's Village Preparing for Flight. At last, the toys are ready and a merry band of elves
are packing Santa's sleigh and adjusting the harness on the reindeer. Radko also designed the
pier table in the Grand Foyer, which depicts Santa's office. Santa can be seen sitting in his
favorite wingback chair, giving a final check to his list of good boys and girls.
The traditional Gingerbread House, located in the State Dining Room, depicts a Santa's
Victorian home complete with his workshop, reindeer stables, and Santa with his sleigh
preparing for departure from his rooftop. Within his workshop, you can see Santa's elves busy at
work surrounded by toys made of candy, marzipan and chocolate. Socks can be seen in Santa's
sleigh, preparing to help him with the busy night ahead. The gingerbread house consists of 80
pounds of gingerbread, 40 pounds of chocolate and 10 pounds of marzipan, and is entirely edible.
The White House pastry chefs created this delicious and fanciful masteriece.
STOCKING STUFFER TIDBITS:
The Oval Office contains a tree decorated with recycling-themed ornaments made by
students from a Washington DC's Kramer Elementary School.
The Christmas tree in the East Garden Room is decorated with a sampling of ornaments
used during the President and Mrs. Clinton's first holiday at the White House. The
ornaments reflect that year's holiday theme: angels.
Recent Christmas themes at the White House include: "The Nutcracker" (1996), "Twas
the Night Before Christmas and All Through the House" (1995), "The Twelve Days of
Christmas" (1994), and "The Angel Tree" (1993).
A handmade menorah decorates the West Wing Lobby. This menorah was designed
and created by Mayrim Baram, a father who lost his young son in the 1973 Arab-Israel
War. Since his son's tragic death, Mr. Baram has been creating menorahs of copper,
bronze, and white metal in his memory.
Nearly sixty volunteers from across the nation donated their time and talents to decorate
the White House this holiday season. For many of these volunteers, helping the White
House prepare for Christmas has become an annual tradition - - for some, this will be
their
tenth year. One volunteer has helped decorate the Whiet Hosue for the past twenty-four
Christmases.
333 needlepoint artists, 103 fashion designers, 195 glass artists, and 24 students
generously volunteered their time and materials to create ornaments for the White House
Christmas Trees.
Hanging in the Cross Hall is the traditional "kissing ball", which was created by a
Washington DC-based master needlepoint artist, Hyla Hurley. This year's
"kissing ball" takes the shape of Santa and his toy-filled sleigh in flight on his Christmas
journey.
Among the toys are a saxophone and a pendant from Stanford University.
There are 47,950 white lights used on the Christmas Trees throughout the White House,
6,720 of which are used on the Blue Room tree.
Visit the Christmas display on the White House Web Site at www.whitehouse.gov.
Approximately 18,000 pieces of shrimp and 250 gallons of eggnog will be served at
White House receptions during the holiday season.
The traditional White House creche, the focal point of the East Room, was made in
Naples, Italy in the late 18th century. It features 47 carved wood and terra cotta figures.
The creche was a gift to the White House from Mrs. Charles Engelhard, Jr. of Far Hills,
New Jersey and has been displayed each year at the White House since it was presented
in 1967.
NOTE: Attached is a list of ornament artists and musical entertainers that will perform at the
White House this holiday season. Please contact the Regional Press Office (202/456-7150)
regarding coverage of the various groups who will be performing.

1997 WHITE HOUSE HOLIDAY CARD FEATURES THE SOUTH LAWN
Washington, DC - The 1997 White House Holiday Card is a reproduction of Kay Jackson's
"White House Nocturne, South Lawn 1997". Featuring a winter evening on the South Lawn, the
oil and gold leaf on canvas was done especially for this year's Holiday Card. The card was
printed on recycled paper by American Greetings at its Corbin, Kentucky plant and will be sent
to approximately 300,000 families.
Kay Jackson, am American artist, lives in Washington, DC. She studied at the Corcoran School
of Art, and achieved her Masters of Fine Arts degree at George Washington University where
she received a classical painting background. Ms. Jackson's diverse genres include soft
watercolors, semi-abstract paintings of people, and ethereal landscapes. Her hallmark is the
delicate use of gold leaf to create the essence of light and shadow. Kay Jackson's paintings have
been exhibited in New York, Washington, DC, Dallas, Monte Carlo, and in embassies abroad.
The Democratic National Committee paid for all production and mailing costs associated with
this year's card. Reproduction of the 1997 White House Holiday Card must credit the artist,
Kay Jackson.
OF INTEREST:
Kay Jackson painted the majority of this work "en plein aire." She spent a good deal of
time on the South Lawn, observing and sketching the pattern of sunlight on the lawn.
Interior rooms of the White House can be viewed through the south windows. The red
walls of the Red Room and the sparkle of the lit Blue Room Christmas tree can be viewed
on the first floor.
The card will be available on the White House web page (www.whitehouse.gov).
THE SOUTH LAWN:
The grassy area of the South Lawn is used for both recreational and official events.
Many presidential children and grandchildren have played on the South Lawn. In
different years, the South Lawn has housed swing sets, trampolines, and slides for
children. The Kennedy children and Amy Carter played in tree houses on the South
Lawn.
In the 19th and 20th century, the Marine Band held concerts on the South Lawn for the
public in the summer months. Other musicians who have performed on the South Lawn
include the New York Philharmonic (1982) and the Boston Pops (1985), and the National
Symphony (1997).
The South Lawn has hosted has annual Easter Egg Roll since 1878. Arrival ceremonies
for visiting foreign dignitaries are held on the South Lawn, as are many bill and treaty
signings. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn into office for his fourth term on
the South Portico in 1945.

WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS CARD - Q&A

White House Christmas cards since 1993. We also take an active role in the
annual Easter festivities at the White House, and have, for the past two years
taken part in a very successful program directed at breast cancer awareness.
We began conversations with the White House about this year's card in the
summer. After providing several suggested formats, we received approval from
the First Lady's office to begin production.
American Greetings has a long history of developing special greeting cards for a
variety of sending situations, and we were quite pleased to lend our creative
talent to the production of this prestigious card.

What does a project like this mean for American Greetings?
It's a great honor to be chosen for this distinct project for five consecutive years.
I think it has a lot to say for our creative expertise, and for our ability to deliver a
quality product in a very short time span.
It places us in a very positive light, both in the consumer's eye and in the eyes of
our retail partners.

For Immediate Release:
N.C. Fraser Fir Selected As Official
White House Christmas Tree
Boone, NC --A North Carolina Fraser Fir has been chosen for the
eighth time as the official White House Christmas tree. This year, two Tar
Heel tree grower families are making this honor possible.
When Sanford and Deborah Fishel of Grassy Creek, N.C., were selected
in 1996 to provide this year's official White House Christmas tree, they were
reasonably confident that one of the 40,000 trees harvested this fall would
meet White House specifications.
Since they had been growing Fraser Firs for 16 years, it was therefore
disappointing that none of the trees on their Ashe County Grouse Ridge
Christmas Tree Farm had grown to 18-1/2 feet, the desired height for a tree to
grace the White House's Blue Room. "The Fishel's trees were all beautifully
shaped, but just not tall enough for the Blue Room," said White House Head
Usher Gary Walters.
So how did the Fishel's come up with a tree that would meet the
White House requirements? What happened is a testament to rural
America's philosophy even in today's cybernetic society of "neighbors helping
neighbors." Upon hearing of the Fishel's plight, recently widowed Genia
George called and said, "I think one of Ernie's trees will work." Indeed, her
husband, who had died just two months ago while tending his neighboring
-more-
NC Fraser Fir - page 2
hilltop tree lot, had just the tree that met Walters and White House Grounds
Superintendent Irv Williams' requirements.
George, who served as a valued mentor to younger growers as
chairman of the North Carolina Fraser Fir Committee, started growing trees
in 1979, even before retiring from Eastern Airlines. "I'm sure Ernie would be
proud knowing one of his trees is going to the White House," says Mrs.
George.
When placed in the White House's famed Blue Room, the decorated
tree will welcome approximately 600,000 visitors this holiday season.
"Having a Fraser Fir in the White House this year is a dream come true for
our family," said Deborah Fishel, who is also providing a 16-foot tree from
the Fishel property for the First Family's private living quarters. Winning
the North Carolina Christmas Tree Association's annual contest in 1994 and
the National Christmas Tree Association's biennial contest in 1996 entitled
the Fishels to provide this year's official Christmas tree.
The Fraser fir destined for the White House is one of about 40,000 trees
the Fishels will harvest this fall on the family's 500 acres located in Ashe
County and Smith and Grayson County, VA. The Fishels began growing
Fraser firs as their only crop in 1981 and are proud caretakers of this "Cadillac
of Christmas trees."
A former Soil Conservation Service technician, Sanford Fishel prides
himself on being a good steward of the land, replacing every tree cut with one
or two seedlings grown in the farm's nursery plots. The North Carolina
Fraser fir growing process takes 12 to 15 years to achieve a marketable tree of 6
-more-
NC Fraser Fir - Page 3
to 8 feet. Since their discovery by Scottish botanist John Fraser in the late
1700's, Fraser firs have been recognized as a premier Christmas tree because of
their deep green thick boughs, needle retention and long-lasting fragrance.
The trees on the Fishel farm have grown up like the Fishel's two
daughters, Maggie (13) and Sarah Beth (8). The girls, home-schooled by their
mother, are accomplished equestrians competing nationally on the family-
owned Registered Quarter Horses. In addition to managing the farm's
computerized records and teaching, mom Deborah has found time to develop
a cottage industry of baking Moravian chicken pies.
Attending the tree presentation in Washington later this month with
the Fishels will be fourth grader Carly Nicks of Hickory, who recently won a
state-wide essay contest sponsored by the N.C. Christmas Tree Association on
"My Perfect Christmas Tree."
Projected 1997 wholesale sales of the North Carolina Christmas tree
industry is over $100 million. The industry produces over 16 percent of trees
grown in the United States. Based in Boone, NC., the N.C. Christmas Tree
Association has nearly 400 members dedicated to promoting "real" Christmas
Trees through marketing and education.

Grouse Ridge Christmas Tree Farms Fraser Fir
Headed For The White House Blue Room
How it all began
Y
oung Sanford Fishel, III, watched with interest as his
Forsythe County neighbors started raising Christmas
trees up in the Ashe and Alleghany County moun-
tain region of North Carolina. It wasn't long before Sanford
went along to help farm in the mountains during summers
and later at tree harvest time on fall weekends. His mentors
were the Bruner and Homer Sides families who took
Sanford under their wing. Even after Sanford entered col-
lege, he'd spend his summers and fall weekends working on
the Sides' Christmas Tree farms.
Upon graduation from Gardner-Webb University and
marriage to fellow student Deborah Gantt, Sanford still
yearned to farm trees in the mountains. From the savings
the young couple put aside from Sanford's earnings as a Soil
Conservation Service technician, he and Deborah bought
their first tree farm in 1981. The 67-acre tract in the Volney,
VA area they purchased was in pasture with spotted wood-

and SCS that the steep, well-drained farm had just the right
trees on more than 500 owned and leased acres in the moun-
soil to grow Fraser fir Christmas trees.

SANTA'S WORKSHOP
Christmas at the White House, 1997
This holiday season, the President and First Lady would like the White House to reflect
Christmas as seen through the eyes of a child. Therefore, they have chosen the theme,
Santa's Workshop, to recognize the hope and dreams of our next generation. As one tours
the handmade ornaments and decorations of the White House, Santa's Workshop instills
the memories and anticipation of the holiday season in us all.
BLUE ROOM
Each year the First Family invites specific groups and individuals to create ornaments to
adorn the official Christmas Tree in the Blue Room.
Accomplished glass artists from across the country were invited to create a glass object
depicting characters, scenes and images from Santa's Workshop.
Fashion Designers from the Council of Fashion Designers of America were invited to create
their own version of "Santa's Suit" to hang on the tree. Santa and Mrs. Claus have never
been better dressed.
The Blue Room Tree is also decorated by needlepoint artists with needlework ornaments
depiciting toys and scenes one might find in Santa's Workshop. The ornaments are stitched
by members from The National Needlework Association, representing needlework shop
owners around the country.
The green velvet handmade tree skirt was designed by individual artisans from each of the
50 states, territories and the District of Columbia, to celebrate President and Mrs. Clinton's
first holiday season at the White House.
The Blue Room Tree is an 18'6" Fraser Fir from the Grouse Ridge Tree Farm in Grassy
Creek, Ashe Country, North Carolina. The tree was presented to Mrs. Clinton by
Sandford and Deborah Fishel and their daughters, Maggie and Sarah Beth. The Fishel's
won the honor of being named the 1997 National Grand Champion Growers by the
National Christmas Tree Association.
GREEN AND RED ROOMS
The mantels in the Green Room and the Red Room have been designed and decorated
under the direction of artist, Christopher Radko. A number of artists and craftsmen have
assisted Mr. Radko in creating the mantel pieces.
THE RED ROOM
The mantel in the Red Room reflects a scene in Santa's Workshop. It is nearly midnight on
December 23 and ten elves in multi-colored suede clothing are feverishly working to
complete the toys, teddy bears, musical instruments, bicycles, books and Christmas
decorations that will go to children around the world. Overseeing this merry mayhem,
Santa is making a last-minute inspection of their work.
The Red Room is also the location of the cranberry tree which is historically placed on the
Gueridon Table.
THE GREEN ROOM
The Green Room Mantel features a night-time scene in Santa's Village - Preparing for
Flight. At last, all the toys are ready and a merry band of elves are packing Santa's sleigh
and adjusting the harness on the reindeer. Mrs. Claus is checking to see that Santa has all
he needs for his important night-time journey. The North Pole cottage buildings are
covered in snow and icicles.
In the Green Room, holiday topiaries are festooned with pomegranets and red roses.
THE STATE DINING ROOM
The State Dining Room is decorated with mixed greenery and highlighted with deep
burgundy damask. Large grapevine angels, adorned with magnolia garland and ribbons,
grace the ends of the table.
The showcase piece in the State Dining Room is always the traditional gingerbread house
created by the White House Pastry Chefs. This year the gingerbread house is Santa's
Victorian home complete with his workshop, reindeer stable and Santa with his sleigh
preparing for departure from the rooftop. Within his workshop, you can see Santa's elves
busy at work surrounded by a selection of Santa Suits made of candy, marzipan and
chocolate. Socks can be seen frolicking in the snow. The gingerbread house, entirely
edible, consists of 80 pounds of gingerbread, 40 pounds of chocolate and 10 pounds of
marzipan.
THE EAST ROOM
The traditional White House creche is the focal point of the East Room. The creche was
made in Naples, Italy in the late 18th century and features 47 carved wood and terra cotta
figures. The creche was a gift to the White House from Mrs. Charles Engelhard, Jr. of Far
Hills, New Jersey, and has been displayed each year at the White House since it was
presented in 1967.
Six lofty trees ranging from 12' to 18' are stationed alongside the creche, at the center
windows and flanking the hallway entrance. The trees are decorated with burgandy and
gold ribbon, gold glitted balls and gold grapes. Musical groups from across the country fill
the room with sounds of the holidays.
GRAND FOYER TREES
The Grand Foyer is the location of the needlepoint "kissing ball" made by master
needlepoint artist, Hyla Hurley of Washington, D.C. This year's White House kissing ball
takes the shape of Santa and his toy-filled sleigh in flight on his Christmas Eve journey.
The four trees in the Grand Foyer are decorated with festive holiday ribbons, ribbon roses,
glass pine cones, red balls and abaca cloth.
Highlighting the pier table in the Grand Foyer is Christoper Radko's creation of Santa's
Office. Santa is seated in his favorite wing-backed chair in front of an 18" tree, giving the
final check to his list of good girls and boys. Two sprite elves are helping Santa with his
list. At the base of the tree, toys, books and wrapped gifts have been placed. Santa's roll-
top desk balances the scene.
WEST WING
A handmade Menorah graces the West Wing of the White House. (information to follow)
OVAL OFFICE TREE
The tree in the Oval Office is being decorated with ornaments made by students from
Kramer Elementary School in Washington, D.C. The Kramer Middle Schools is a school
of environmental studies and they have decorated the tree with recycling in mind. This
school was adopted by the United States Secret Service and serves as a mentor to the
school's students.
EAST ENTRANCE
The East Garden Room is graced by a tree decorated a with sampling of ornaments used
during the President and Mrs. Clinton's first holiday at the White House. That theme was
ANGELS with angel ornaments made by craft artists around the country.
The East Foyer is decorated with a tree of ornaments from the second Clinton Christmas at
the White House (1994). The theme was The Twelve Days of Christmas and ornaments
were created by Art and Design Schools and by The National Society of Tole and
Decorative Painters. In addition, the Garden Room displays the collection of White House
Christmas cards dating back to the Eisenhower Administration. An original painting of
this year's Christmas card, "White House Nocturne, South Lawn, 1997", painted by Kay
Jackson is displayed. Ms. Jackson is a local artist, having studied at the Corcoran School
of Art and later earning an M.F.A. in painting from George Washington University.
DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION ROOM
The fireplace is flanked by two trees decorated with needlepoint stockings stitched by
needlepoint artists for the 1995 and 1996 White House Blue Room Tree.
VOLUNTEERS AND A WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS
1997
Beginning in July, 7 volunteers from the Social Office began the process of executing the plans set
forth by The First Lady and the Social Office Staff for the 1997 White House Christmas. Their
duties included writing and sending letters of invitations to all ornament participants as well as
follow-up phone calls to them.
When ornaments began arriving the end of October, 12 volunteers from the Social Office began
to unpack, repack, catalogue and data entry all of the ornaments. This procedure continued for
1 month.
The creators of the 1997 ornaments included four groups from around the country who
generously volunteered their time and materials for the White House Holiday Trees. Those
groups are as follows:
Fashion Designers - 196
Needlepoint Artists - 600
Glass Artists - 180
Students from Kramer Elementary School - 24
Another 10 volunteers organized the tour and invitation procedure for all ornaments creators to
come to the White House for a special artist tour. These volunteers sent the invitations, answered
phone calls and questions regarding the tour.
The White House Visitor's Office enlists the help of approximately 657 volunteers to greet White
House visitors who tour the White House on guided tours, public tours as well as special tours.
The Social Office received the assistance of 15 volunteers to coordinate the musical entertainment
program which was planned for all tours and receptions during the holidays. Over 2500
individuals participated in musical programs at the White House. These participants ranged from
elementary students to senior citizens who volunteered their time to entertain visitors at the White
House. The Social Office Volunteers coordinated the scheduling of groups to the White House as
well as accompanying them during their performance.
The White House Flower Shop solicited 50 volunteer decorators who did everything from bow
tying to the actual decoration of the trees, tables, mantel pieces and hanging of the garlands.
The fabulous Red Room and Green Room mantel pieces were decorated by 30 professional
designers, artists and costume makers from around the country who volunteered their generous
time and resources to make the mantels a true work of art.
The volunteer effort contributed to the White House fanned out across the United States and
involved over 4262 individuals making Christmas at the White House a special and spectacular
one.

Information on the Holiday Card

Capricia Marshall, Kim Widdess
To follow is background information for the 1997 White House Holiday Christmas Card release:
The 1997 White House Christmas Card is a reproduction of Kay Jackson's "White House Nocturne,
South Lawn 1997.
Featuring a winter evening on the South Lawn of the White House, the oil and gold leaf on canvas
was done especially for this year's Holiday Card. The card was printed by American Greetings at its
Corbin, Kentucky plant and will be send to approximately 300,000 families.
Kay Jackson, an American artist, lives in Washington, D.C. She studied at the Corcoran School of
Art, and achieved her Masters of Fine Art degree at George Washington University where she
received a classical painting background. Ms. Jackson's diverse genres include soft watercolors,
semi-abstract paintings of people, and ethereal landscapes. Her hallmark is the delicate use of gold
leaf to create the essence of light and shadow. Kay Jackson's paintings have been exhibited in New
York, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Monte Carlo and in embassies abroad.
The Democratic National Committee paid for all production and mailing costs associated with this
year's card. Reproduction of 1997 White House Card must credit the artist, Kay Jackson.

I have also attached Kay Jackson's bio information. If you need further information on Kay - - please
call her manager, Christopher Addison at 202/328-2332 or 202/333-3335
I know that Kay is planning on making herself available for any press inquiries about the card after its probably
release. I would suggest someone give her manager a call about how the White House wants her to
handle the press.
Also attached is a memo from American Greetings outlining their plans to unveil the card to the local Lesler
media. They have asked if someone could touch base with their press contact Leslee Cavanaugh at
216/252-4944 to walk through their timeline. They have also requested that Maureen Stratton, from
Lake checked.
American Greetings, attend Mrs. Clinton's press preview on December 3rd. She has been in attendance
the last four years.
I hope that this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Washington D, C.
Dear Miss Marshall:
The PEARLS A CAPPELLA CHOIR will be singing at the National Opera Convention's "Opera
for Youth" conference at the Kennedy Center on January 14th. The children would be delighted
to present a brief concert in any capacity at the White House. They are an outstanding young
choir who have been featured on the Today Show, and performed at Carnegie Hall, the lighting
of the Lincoln Center Christmas Tree and in several concerts for the city of Yonkers.
I have included in this mailing a video tape from New York City's NBC Nightly News which
mentions, among other things that these children have been singing with me since they were
three and one-half years of age. They are now performing three part harmonies in several
languages.
I thank you so very much for your consideration of their musical offering.
Sincerely yours,
Eneme Bronglaten Kresch

Nancy Ganz by Bodyslimmers - New York (212/575-5800)
Ms. Ganz created "long johns" for Santa and sent along the following verse:
'Twas the night before Christmas and at the White House
Not a creature was stirring; not even a mouse
Santa Suits were hung on the Blue Room Christmas Tree
Created by Donna, Ralph, Calvin and me
CFDA designers made suits one and all
For mini-Santas, 12 inches tall
The one in his box is for under his clothes
To keep Santa warm from his head to his toes
Resting upon this hangar so small
Are Santa's undergarments, one size fills all!
To keep his tummy controlled and tucked in tight
This Nancy Ganz suit will be perfectly right
To hold in the fat and hide all the flaws
We all can use one, even Santa Claus!
And so it's our privilege and honor to sew
This suit that's so special and just so you know
BODYSLIMMERS is proud to be part of the tree
To help keep our Santa fit and fat-free!
We will keep Santa's belly all snug and tight
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Re:
Holiday Press Preview
Date: December 2, 1997
Tomorrow's press preview will be a little different than in years past. What we are
looking to do is to give the press not only a chance to see the White House in all its finery but
also the opportunity to get more information about how the process of Christmas happens at the
White House. With that in mind, the preview will start this year with a press availability in the
East Room where you will be accompanied by Gary, Nancy, Walter, and Roland. You would
use this time to welcome the press and to speak generally about the themes of this Christmas.
There then would be a 15 minute opportunity for Gary to talk about the planning of Christmas,
for Nancy to talk about decorating the house, for Walter to take about food preparations and for
Roland to talk about the gingerbread house. Capricia will act as master of ceremonies to make
this flow properly. The Holiday card will also be featured in the East Room. The volunteers
who have worked to decorate the house will be in the room as well.
At the conclusion of this program, you will move through the Green Room into the Blue
Room while we get the press set for the Blue Room photo-op. Since you will already have
talked about the theme, this is a chance for you to talk about some of your favorite ornaments.
As in past years, completing this picture will require multiple waves of photographers. (While
you are doing the Blue Room photo, the remaining press will have the chance to talk with Gary,
Nancy, Walter and Roland about their roles during the holiday.) Once the Blue Room photo is
completed you will move down to the Red Room while we bring the full compliment of press
down to the State Dining Room for the photo-op of the gingerbread house. Roland will meet you
there for that picture. Once that is over, you can leave and the press will stay for a short
reception.
Attached for your information is a memo on groups that participated in creating
ornaments and explanations of special ornaments. I've also included the various materials we
will be giving the press.
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Capricia
FROM:
Debby
DATE:
December 2
RE:
Christmas Talking Points
I am attaching some information you may want to look at prior to your being interviewed
by the press tomorrow.
Here are some highlights to remember:
The three groups Mrs. Clinton invited to participate are:
1.
Glass Artists affiliated with the American Craft Council
which is located in New York. They made glass balls and objects
depicting the theme Santa's Workshop. (180 ornaments)
2.
Needlepoint Artists who are members of The National
Needlework Association. They are predominately women
shop owners. They stitched toys or scenes one might
find in Santa's Workshop. (332 ornaments)
3.
Fashion Designers from The Council of Fashion Designers
designed and created their versions of a Santa Suit or Mrs. Claus's
suit. (102 suits)
Some of the special ornaments are:
1.
A needlepoint ornament done by a woman from
California in honor of her grandmother who immigrated
to the US from Italy and came through Ellis Island in 1902.
2.
A needlepoint ornament done by a woman in Chevy Chase,
Maryland in honor of her grandfather, Sam Fisher, a Washington
tailor in the early 1900's.
3.
A glass ball entitled "The Ornament of the Universe" created
by Kelsey Murphy from Ceredo, West Virginia. It is on the
cover of the holiday brochure.
4.
A glass ornament created by Philip Crooks from
Lakemont, New York. He believes it takes a village to
raise a child so he went to a local school in Dundee,
New York and involved 4 second grade classes to
help him design his ornament. He drove it to Washington
and hand delivered it to the Social Office.
5.
A glass ball was dedicated to Princess Diana.
6.
The Fashion Designers made everything from Mrs. Claus's
wedding dress, to Santa's raincoat, Santa's long johns, Santa's
jogging suit, Mrs. Claus's bathing suit for their vacation in
Florida, a hat for Santa, a Sunday hat for Mrs. Claus and a purse
for Mrs. Claus.
Also, attached is a fact sheet on a White House Christmas and the involvement of
volunteers which is a good press story.
I think the major theme of this Christmas is that the President and Mrs. Clinton want all
guests to reflect on their own special memories of the holidays as their view the White
House and to see this Christmas through the eyes of a child.

VOLUNTEERS AND A WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS
1997
Beginning in July, 7 volunteers from the Social Office began the process of executing the plans
set forth by The First Lady and the Social Office Staff for the 1997 White House Christmas.
Their duties included writing and sending letters of invitations to all ornament participants as well
as follow-up phone calls to them.
When ornaments began arriving the end of October, 12 volunteers from the Social Office began
to unpack, repack, catalogue and data entry all of the ornaments. This procedure continued for
1 month.
The creators of the 1997 ornaments included four groups from around the country who
generously volunteered their time and materials for the White House Holiday Trees. Those
groups are as follows:
Fashion Designers - 200
Needlepoint Artists - 600
Glass Artists - 180
Students from Kramer Elementary School - 24
Another 10 volunteers organized the tour and invitation procedure for all ornaments creators to
come to the White House for a special artist tour. These volunteers sent the invitations, answered
phone calls and questions regarding the tour.
The White House Visitor's Office enlists the help of approximately 657 volunteers to greet White
House visitors who tour the White House on guided tours, public tours as well as special tours.
The Social Office received the assistance of 15 volunteers to coordinate the musical entertainment
program which was planned for all tours and receptions during the holidays. Over 2500
individuals participated in musical programs at the White House. These participants ranged from
elementary students to senior citizens who volunteered their time to entertain visitors at the White
House. The Social Office Volunteers coordinated the scheduling of groups to the White House as
well as accompanying them during their performance.
The White House Flower Shop solicited 50 volunteer decorators who did everything from bow
tying to the actual decoration of the trees, tables, mantel pieces and hanging of the garlands.
The fabulous Red Room and Green Room mantel pieces were decorated by 30 professional
designers, artists and costume makers from around the country who volunteered their generous
time and resources to make the mantels a true work of art.
The volunteer effort contributed to the White House fanned out across the United States and
involved over 4266 individuals making Christmas at the White House a special and spectacular
one.

GUIDELINES FOR HOLIDAY ENTERTAINERS
We are pleased to invite you to perform at the White House during the holiday season. We hope
you choose to accept this invitation. Due to space and time limitations, we must ask each group
to agree to the following:
This invitation has been extended to the Brown's Tones. Due to space limitations, the
White House is unable to accommodate other people traveling with the group beyond
the number mentioned.
If possible, we recommend that your group arrive in a single bus. We will try to
accomodate parking, but please understand space around the complex is very limited.
All vehicles must be pre-cleared. We will need information on the vehicle type,
license number, and Social Security number/date of birth of the driver (provide on
accompanying form).
Please enter the White House through the East Wing Appointment Entrance located
on East Executive Avenue (between the White House and the Treasury Building). All
vehicles (that are pre-cleared) may enter from the south entrance to East Executive
Drive, off of E Street. Adults (over the age of 15) need to bring a photo ID.
Please arrive no later than 45 minutes before your scheduled performance time, but no
earlier than one hour. We regret there is not appropriate storage area for personal
items, therefore you will need to arrive in performance dress and leave your personal
belongings on the bus.
All necessary equipment your group brings is subject to security checks by the White
House security. This process can slow down your entry considerably, so please keep
the equipment to a minimum. We will need in advance (provide on accompanying
form) specific information about the number and types of instruments you will be
bringing with you.
Security checks must be completed on all White House visitors, therefore, no
substitutions in attending entertainers will be accepted after December 1st.
The White House has excellent acoustics; no extra sound equipment is necessary (this
includes microphones). We cannot accommodate electric keyboards or tape players
which need to be plugged in small battery operated music boxes will be permitted.
Only one member of your group may serve as your official photographer (still
Only one member of your group may serve as your official photographer (still
cameras only - - no video cameras).
After your performance, your group will be our guests for punch and cookies. Since
there is not a restaurant on the grounds, we recommend that you plan your meals
accordingly. Information on restaurants and sandwich shops near the White House is
provided on an accompanying list.
You will be performing for invited guests of the White House, but because of their
heavy schedules, your group will most likely not see the First Family.
Please understand that you may not publicize your appearance "as seen at the White
House" for future promotions.
I understand and agree to the preceding requests and accept the invitation to perform
at the White House under the conditions mentioned:

FIELD(1)
Dear FIELD(2):
The White House is never more beautiful and reflective of the American spirit than during the holiday
season. It is a time when all of us share in celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. The First
Family is grateful to have all visitors to the White House join with them in experiencing the beauty
which fills this national treasure during the holiday season.
Christmas holds a particular bond for all of us. As we reflect upon the memories and anticipation of
the season, our thoughts turn to children. This holiday, the President and First Lady would like the
White House reflect Christmas as seen through the eyes of a child. Therefore, they have chosen the
theme, SANTA'S WORKSHOP, to recognize the hopes and dreams of our next generation.
Each year the First Family invites specific groups and individuals to create ornaments, which depict the
chosen theme, for the White House Blue Room Tree. This year we are inviting members from the
Council of Fashion Designers of America to create their own version of "Santa's Suit" to hang on the
Blue Room Tree. Santa will never be better dressed. It would be an honor to have your original
creation as a part of this year's White House holiday celebration.
We hope you will be able to participate as we are extremely excited about this holiday theme. It is
imperative that the Christmas theme remain confidential until Mrs. Clinton reveals it at a press
conference the first week of December where it will be released to approximately 300 members of the
media.
I am enclosing a list of specifications which includes deadlines and mailing instructions. Also, I am
requesting that the attached form be returned to my office by August 29. This will confirm your
participation. If you have any questions, please contact Debby McGinn in the White House Social
Office at 202/456-7136.
On behalf of the First Family, I would like to thank you for your consideration of this invitation. I
personally look forward to working with you to make this holiday at the White House a memorable
experience for all.
Sincerely,
Ann Stock
Deputy Assistant to the President
and Social Secretary

Dear XXX:
The White House is never more beautiful and reflective of the American spirit than during the holiday
season. It is a time when all of us share in celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. The First
Family is grateful to have all visitors to the White House join with them in experiencing the beauty
which fills this national treasure during the holiday season.
Christmas holds a particular bond for all of us. As we reflect upon the memories and anticipation of
the season, our thoughts turn to children. This holiday, the President and First Lady would like the
White House to reflect Christmas as seen through the eyes of a child. Therefore, they have chosen the
theme, SANTA'S WORKSHOP, to recognize the hopes and dreams of our next generation.
Each year the First Family invites specific groups and individuals to create ornaments, which depict the
chosen theme, for the White House Blue Room Tree. This year the members of the National
Needlework Association are being invited to design and stitch one needlepoint ornament portraying
toys and objects one might find in SANTA'S WORKSHOP. It would be an honor to have your
creation as a part of this year's White House holiday celebration.
We hope you will be able to participate as we are extremely excited about this holiday theme. It is
imperative that the Christmas theme remain confidential until Mrs. Clinton reveals it at a press
conference the first week of December.
I am enclosing a list of ornament specifications which includes suggested designs, deadlines and
mailing instructions. Also, I am requesting that the attached form be returned to my office by
August 25. This will confirm your participation. If you have any questions, please contact Debby
McGinn in the White House Social Office at 202/456-7136.
On behalf of the First Family, I would like to thank you for your consideration of this invitation. I
personally look forward to working with you to make this holiday at the White House a memorable
experience for all.
Sincerely,

ADDISON / RIPLEY

Artist's Statement
Kay Jackson
November 12, 1997
For years I have been refusing commissions, but when Christopher Addison,
my gallery dealer in Washington called on a hot August afternoon to pass
along a question from the White House social office, "...would Kay Jackson be
interested in painting a 'Nocturne' of the White House to be used for this year's
Presidential Holiday card?", I immediately had a change of heart about taking
on commissions. This was a wonderful opportunity to continue to explore the
possibilities of nocturne compositions (and, I thought, on some level, be of
service to my country). Even after twelve years of painting nocturnes in the
tradition of James Mc Neill Whistler, I am interested in the abstraction of
perceived reality created by keying light, reflection, shadow and darkness to
produce an enchanting visual mystery.
By laying gold leaf into the paint, another dimension appears with the illusion
of real light glowing deep within the canvas. By painting scenes at night, the
deep shadows and close dark hues presented additional complexities.
The challenge of this White House commission was the challenge of
responding to an extraordinarily familiar facade while, somehow, revealing
its warmer, more soulful qualities. Further, it was imperative to maintain its
formal symbolism.
Ms. Capricia Marshall, the White House social secretary, graciously provided
photographs of the South facade in the snow so that, despite my plein aire
session in September, I was able to imagine the building in its Holiday dress.
Being able to draw and photograph on site was very important to me.
Sketching on the White House lawn from twilight into darkness, until the
sheer beauty of the place had etched an unforgettable impression, the
inspiration for this commission.

Since he presented his first collection of 50 Christmas ornaments in 1986, Christopher has created over
3,000 designs.
The popularity of these holiday decorations stimulated the development of other fine products. Since
1995. Christopher Radko has offered quality decorative accessories as well as creative ideas that Navi
beyond the Christmas tree
The "Home for the Holidays" collection making its debut in 1997 brings the spirit of the season
throughout the home with serveware, topiaries, nested boxes, limited edition nuterackers and
snowglobes. Included in the new collection is an expanded selection of exquisite silk scarves, necklic
gift wraps and limited edition Christmas oil paintings.
To enhance holiday celebrations held throughout the year, Christopher has created a line of of paper
mache figures which includes a variety of Santas and other seasonal favorites.

some of the most identifiable trademarks of business and entertainment giants. Handerafted exclusive

and it all started by accident!
In 1983. Christopher decided that his family's old tree stand had served long enough. The family agreed
to replace the stand and put their 14-foot tree in the gleaming contemporary model. They decorated the
free in their usual European tradition, with their treasures of 2,000 mouth-blown glass ornaments. One
week before Christmas the "new" stand gave way, shattering over half the collection.
"With sudden and resounding finality, it seemed that our door to the memories of Christmases past had
slammed shut. We were devastated." he recalls.

The summer after his "Christmas tragedy," Christopher began to look for glass ornaments while visit
cousins in Poland. He found none. Instead, he located a glassblower who could make the ornament -

Christopher sketched some traditional ornament shapes and designs that had not been used since before
the Second World War and had several dozen ornaments produced to take home to his family The
ornaments never made it to the tree. Instead. his friends purchased all of them. On his next trip abres
he brought back more ornaments that sold out as well.
At that point, Christopher realized he had discovered something unique. During his lunch hours at his
job with a talent agency, he began showing his designs to stores in New York City, By his second -

CHRISTMAS 1995
Warm greetings to everyone celebrating Christmas.
The Christmas story is dear and familiar to us all -- shepherds and
angels, Wise Men and King Herod, Mary and Joseph, and, at the heart
of it all, a Child. This Child was born into poverty in a city too
crowded to offer Him shelter. He was sent to a region whose people
had endured suffering, tyranny, and exile. And yet this Child
brought with Him riches so great that they continue to sustain the
human spirit two thousand years later: the assurance of God's love
and presence in our lives and the promise of salvation.
Each year at Christmas, we celebrate these gifts with family and
friends. We place candles in the window as a sign that there is
always room for Christ in our homes. We put angels and stars and
twinkling lights on the Christmas tree to remind us of the glory
and mystery of Christ's birth. We sing the old and beloved
Christmas carols to express the joy filling our hearts, and we
share special gifts with those we love, just as God shared His
Son with us. And, in contemplating the nativity scene under
the tree or in a neighbor's yard, we realize that children hold
a special place in God's heart, since He sent His only Son to
us as a little Child.
With this simple truth in mind, let us observe Christmas this
year by making a solemn commitment to the children of our communi-
ties, our nation, and the world. Let us pledge to love and nurture
them and promise to give them strong values and a chance to make
the most of their God-given talents. Let us resolve that they will
grow up in a world that is free and at peace. By cherishing the
children God sends us, we express our love and gratitude for the
one Child He sent whose coming offers forgiveness and hope to us
all.
Hillary and I send best wishes for a blessed and joyous Christmas
season and every happiness in the new year.

RE:
Christmas at the White House - Per your Request
CC:

Prior to you briefing the press on Christmas, 1995 I thought you might like to have the
following information.
As you know, each year the First Lady chooses a theme for the White House Christmas
Holiday and invites special groups to create ornaments to hang on the various White
House Trees. The first year of the Clinton Administration, Mrs. Clinton chose the
theme "ANGELS" and the various trees were decorated by Craft Artists from around
the country in honor of the designation by Congress as 1993 being the "Year of the
American Craft". The following year's theme was "THE TWELVE DAYS OF
CHRISTMAS" and three different groups were chosen to create ornaments - - Art and
Design Schools, Blue Ribbon Schools and National Society of Decorative Painters. All
50 states were represented by these groups.
The First Lady chose the theme for Christmas, 1995 to be 'TWAS THE NIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS. and all through the House. The First Lady's choice of this
theme is a personal one as this famous fable is one she and the President have read to
Chelsea every year since she was an infant. Also, this is the same book the President
has read each Christmas in the State Dining Room to local school children.
After the First Lady chose the theme in July, the Social Office Staff conceptualized and
formulated a plan for it's execution. Five volunteers from the Social Office put the plan
in effect and a total of 80 volunteers have been working since July to put the pieces in
place.
The following groups were invited to participate in the creation of ornaments for the
various White House Trees reflecting the theme:
271
162 arch. schools
AIA Architect and Architect Students - chapters were invited to invited to
make ornaments for the Blue Room Tree to reflect the architectural
aspects of the theme, i.e. rooftops, chimney, windows, porch
(608 individuals created ornaments)
*
American Needlepoint Guild and The Embroiders Guild of America --invited
to stitch traditional stockings to hang on the Blue Room Tree.
(204 members of the guilds participated)
Culinary Schools from around the country were invited to create ornaments
made out of edible materials for the 4 trees in the Grand Foyer.
They specifically patterned their ornaments out of the famous fable to
reflect and visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. Ornaments
out of sugar, marzipan, chocolate, breads, etc. were made to reflect
dreams children may have the night before Christmas.
(Letters of invitation were sent to 558 schools and 540 individual
culinary artists participated.)
*
Blue Ribbon Schools, as designated by the Department of Education, were
invited to make ornaments for the West Wing Trees and for trees in the
Diplomatic Reception Room. (276 Blue Ribbon Elementary Schools were
invited to participate and 144 schools responded.)
Each of the above groups were sent a letter in August inviting them to participate in the
ornament project. They responded back to the Social Office with their confirmation
and sent their ornaments to the Social Office by October 31. Hundreds of phone calls
were exchanged with the artists by the volunteer staff. As the thousands of ornaments
rolled in, scores of volunteers unpacked, catalogued the ornaments and repacked for the
warehouse where they were held until the decoration process began. The work
continued as volunteers compiled information on each ornament and artist so that each
could be extended an invitation to a special tour. In addition, they prepared for the
thank-you Mrs. Clinton will send to each artist after the Holiday Season.
A multi-faceted program was established by a volunteer musical coordinator in the
Social Office. 2500 entertainers from across the United States were invited to perform
during White House tours and receptions during the entire month of December. The
entertainers range from elementary student groups to senior citizens and each has
generously donated their time and talents to perform for the First Family as well as for
the thousands of tourists who visit the White House.
As you can see, the entire execution of the 1995 White House Christmas has been done
largely by White House Volunteers and has fanned out around the country enveloping
thousands of generous artists who have donated large amounts of time so that all
Americans could enjoy a spectacular White House Christmas.
The menorah in the West Wing Lobby of the White House was designed and created by Mayrim
Baram, a father who lost his young son during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. Since his son's tragic
death, Mr. Baram has been creating menorahs of copper, bronze and whitemetal in the memory
of his son. In his menorah, Mr. Baram captures the horrors of war and expresses his yearning
and hope for peace.
