OK, I bit, I followed the link. :-)

What a couple of LOSERS those two were. (are) How embarrassing to have that tree, that card, those two, featured along with all of the other President's and their First Ladies. Ick. Barf. Losers. Disgusting. They are the scurge of the earth.

ICKY POOEY!

Other than that....THANKS for the link. It was fun to see what the cards and the tress looked like!

Sorry you had to do all that work. I had intended to post on the beginning of the thread all the cards and First Families in front of their trees but some computer gremilin half way through making the thread made all my work just vanish! Sigh! So thinking I'd better quite while I was ahead, just posted the few.

Here's one of my favorites, the card is so-so but Ronald and Nancy in front of the tree is wonderful.

The 1986 official White House Christmas card was the first card in a series of paintings by Thomas William Jones. Mrs. Reagan showcased three White House rooms that had not previously been the subject of a Presidential Christmas card. The East Room was highlighted for the 1986 card. The State Dining Room and the North Entry Hall were showcased the next two years.

1986 White House Tree

The 1986 Reagan tree featured decorations based on the theme, Mother Goose Christmas. The trimmings included wooden gingerbread cookie ornaments, state balls, Christmas card ornaments, soft sculpture miniature geese and a soft sculpture angel on top. At the base of the tree were 15 soft sculpture scenes of characters from Mother Goose rhymes.

I anxiously await for this years theme of White House Pets and pictures of this years tree!
