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 ol;ll' next generation. As in past
years, the First Family has invited specifi~ 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 AmeiicanCraft CounCil were invited
to create ornaments depicting characters or scenes from Santa's w~rkshop.
The ?fficial White House Christmas Tree~ an 18 112 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", designedby fashiondesigners from The C.ouncil of
'Fashion Designers ofAmerica. Also hanging on the tree are· glass and needlepoint ornaments
depicting characters; scenes, and image.ry'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 huhter green panels
are each 'uniquely designed, using a variety of quilting techniques.
Themantlepieces fn the Green and Red Rooms have been designed and decorated under the
direction of artist Christopher Radko with the assistance of a riumberof 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 fe~turesa night-ti~e scene
in Santa's Village - Preparing/or Flight. .At last, t~e tqys 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 wingba~k chair, givih~ 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 worksliop, you can see Santa's elves busy at
work surrounded by toys made 'of candy, marzipan and chocolate. Socks can beseen 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. ,
