The 2022 Official White House Historical Association Christmas ornament honors the administration of President Richard M Nixon and First Lady Patricia Nixon (1969-1974). In particular, it rightfully honors the contribution of First Lady Patricia Nixion at Christmas. Their first Christmas in the White House Mrs. Nixon introduced several new holiday traditions. In 1969 she began candlelight tours of the Mansion. She also offered TV specials of "Christmas at the White House" for those who could not visit in person. She and her daughter would be interviewed at the end of the end of the tour. For the first time in 25 years green wreaths and red candles were hung in the 16 windows facing Pennsylvania Avenue. "We love to decorate, you can't overdo at Christmas" Pat Nixon told the Evening Star. Most important, the First Lady introduced the first Gingerbread House into the decorations. White House chef, Hans Raffert, created a 3-foot 45 pound German A-Frame gingerbread house complete with Hansel and Gretal. This longstanding tradition of the White House gingerbread house continues to this day. Over the years it has changed shapes, gained weight and is unique to each new administration.

The Official White HouseChristmas Ornament is hand-crafted in the UnitedStates from solid brass, screen printed with enamel inks, andpackaged in a collectible box with a scented card outlining Patricia Nixon's gingerbread recipe.
