The Official 2024 White House Christmas Ornament honors President Jimmy Carter. The ornament’s anchor shape, an iconic symbol of hope, represents Carter’s service in the United States Navy. Both the front and reverse side of the ornament feature peace doves, symbolic of President Carter’s work for peace in the Middle East, and perhaps most significantly, the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed on the North Lawn of the White House on March 26, 1979. On the reverse side of the ornament is the Seawolf-class USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23). Commissioned in 2005, it is the only submarine to be named for a living president. The globe at the center refers to Carter’s lifelong work on environmental conservation. At the base of the anchor is a garland of peanut flowers, a reminder of Carter’s years as a farmer and businessman in Plains, Georgia. This ornament ships with a ribbon for hanging in a keepsake box with an illustrated booklet on the Carter presidency. https://www.whitehousehistory.org/2024
