White House tree

DAVIDSVILLE — “Our Christmas tree has yearly official White House ornaments which are issued each year by the White House Historical Association,” wrote Joyce Kozielec of Davidsville. “As far as I know they have been offering them since 1981. I worked at the White House under President Nixon in 1970 and 1971, and felt it was such an honor and privilege that, as soon as these were offered, I started collecting them. I now have 32. I trim the tree with the gold ornaments, gold ribbon, balls and bows. My family looks forward every year to the White House Tree.”
