White House ornament?

[Anonymous]

Thinking about one as a small Christmas keepsake for AP. Does whoever is actually President matter to APs? Is this ornament political at all?

AP loves Christmas and holiday decorations, so it wouldn’t be totally out of the blue to give her an ornament...

I’d just get a generic dc one, maybe get in inscribed with her name and kids names and the year. They should have them at Christmas markets. We live in a different city and do this, finding an ornament that depicts a famous landmark.

Too political this year.

Jim Shore is very "Americana"

I would disagree that it is too political (and this is coming from someone who is very far to the left). The yearly ornament is designed/sold by the White House Historical Association. This year's ornament honors Harry Truman. It has nothing to do with Trump.

best to ask the APs directly and not us.

We have given this is a Christmas gift to our au pairs’ parents for the past several years and it has been very well received. It is a beautiful ornament.

I don’t know how much an ap would be interested in an ornament celebrating Truman. Most of our au pairs have known next to nothing about American history.

Paper Source and Target both have an adorable cork board American Map x-mas ornament that your AP could put pins into to remind her of where she visited. That's one of our stocking stuffers for our ap

I would buy nothing associated with this presidency either for myself or as a gift.

Not what the White House ornaments are about. They are history-based, but probably not as suitable for an AP as a area or landmark ornament, if you want to go that route. I think a more personalized with a family/AP photo would be better.

I like this idea.

I never buy them.
They are ugly and garish and who gives an eff about it.

Buy a more personalized ornament (picture frame ornament from michaels of her and the kids) and the year and give that.

Best to not post nasty responses. There are plenty of AP's on here along with those we with plenty of experience with APs.
