RE:
Press Preview
Hello there! J. understand House and Garden TV will again be doing a segment on
ornaments for the Blue Room Tree. I know it would be great to find the ornament
and match it with the artist - but Nancy and I both spoke about it and it would be
very difficult since we are not sure if we can find the older ornaments to match with
the artist. And, so many of these have been destroyed by the Archives due to moth
infestion - we don't want that publicized!
I think it would be great if HGTV chose some artists from the following list of
people, contacted them and told them of our Holiday Reflections theme and how
Mrs. Clinton wishes to pay tribute to the thousands of artists who have made
contributions to the White House. I would suggest that they ask the artists if it
would be possible to recreate an ornament similar to the one they had done in their
respective year - or to create another one for the 2000 tree in commemoration of the
Holiday Reflections theme. HGTV could film them making it and perhaps we could
invite them to come back for the Press Preview and have them hang it on the tree.
Here is a list of some past artists:
93.500g
1994 - Twelve Days of Christmas Theme
Decorative Painters
Rosemary Thigpen, Jacksonville, FL 904-359-7697

Ornament depicts a view through a window to three children asleep, with
"visions of sugar plums dancing through their heads
"
Mr. Robert S. Cusick, Shrewsbury, NJ
The ornament's exterior was created to evoke imagery of the traditional
American home during the holiday season. When the ornament opens
the opening scenes depicted in the theme poem are revealed: "Not a
creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the
chimney with care..."
Mr. Warren A. Austin Arlington, Texas
Front side of ornament is a house façade with a small Christmas wreath on a
second floor window. The backside reveals an interior of a stud wall with
exposed wood studs chewed out by a tiny mouse asleep on his bed of wood
shavings.

Mr. Crooks created a unique glass object, which depicts numerous
*
scenes from Santa's Workshop. Mr. Crooks involved 4-second grade
classes from Dundee Central School in Dundee, NY. The second graders
Debbie
designed scenes for Mr. Crooks to inlay in glass and the whole school
became involved. Mr. Crooks believes it "truly takes a village" which

the ornament down to the WH from NY and delivered it to the Social
Office.

To keep his tummy controlled and tucked in tight

And so it's our privilege and honor to sew
This suit that's so special and just so you know

Deerfield Academy between 1813-1818. She was affectionately known as
"Little Mary" because of her tiny 3'4" stature. These handscreens are
reproductions of 2 made by Mary Hawks in the 17th Century. The screens
allowed a lady to move freely around a room while still shielding her face
from the fireplace heat. A young woman attending a White House function
may have given the First Lady or her daughter a pair of these screens to decorate
the fireplace when not in use.

Dear Gayleen,
1
Welcome to the First Lady's Press Office! Congratulations on being a of a new team at the
White House. It was a pleasure chatting with you on the phone today. It sounds like working on
HGTV's "The White House Christmas" with you will be fun!
I just wanted to recap what we discussed during our conversation today:
When will Gary be visiting the tree farm from which the Blue Room Christmas Tree will come
this year? Can we shoot his visit to the tree farm? Can we also shoot when they cut the tree
down? ]-traveling]
Can we send a videographer to shoot Nancy as she holds one of her planning meetings for
the White House decorations this year?
=
DOLA
Can we also come and shoot as Roland makes and freezes cookie dough and/or fruitcake for
the holiday parties?
In keeping with last year's schedule, we'd like to shoot for eight straight days, with the eighth
day being the Press Preview day. I know that is tentatively booked for December 4, therefore
we'd like to begin shooting on Monday, December 27. We'd like to have 3 crew members
each day of shooting (that number includes me, the producer) plus a fourth person (our talent)
646 528 646X
on the day of the Press Preview.
Let me know if any of our requests present a problem. All of these elements certainly make for a
better TV show. I was extremely pleased with last year's show Take a look at the enclosed copy
and let me know what you think.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Judy Janny Freddy James
