It was First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy who decided special thought should be given to Christmas celebrations at the White House. In 1961, Mrs. Kennedy introduced the concept of a Christmas theme, now a beloved White House tradition that has endured for over fifty years. In addition to creating a White House Christmas for all to behold, the Kennedy family hung white stockings with pompoms and hand sewn embellishments on the fireplace for Santa. Our white stocking vases are complete with white pompom trim and nostalgic embellishments, just like the stockings hanging on the Kennedy fireplace on Christmas Eve.
