Officially known as the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, the Cathedral's charter was signed by President Benjamin Harrison in 1893. The Cathedrals Foundation Stone was laid by Theodore Roosevelt. The beginning of construction in 1909 would find multiple generations of Gothic Architects, stone carvers, masons, metal workers and stained glass artisans who graced the Washington National Cathedral with their talents and labors. Washington National Cathedral was completed in 1990 (almost a century of construction) with private donations and funds.

Designed and Made in the USA. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these ornaments go to help the restoration of the Washington National Cathedral from the damage it incurred by the earthquake that hit the Washington DC area last September.

The White House Christmas Ornament presents the official 2011 White House Theodore Roosevelt Ornament.

The 2011 White House Christmas ornament honors the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States. Roosevelt took office on September 14, 1901, upon the death of President William McKinley, who had been shot by an assassin eight days earlier. Sworn in at the age of 42, Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president in the nation's history.

The reverse side of the 2011 White House Christmas ornament features a second color image inspired by a period illustration. It captures the moment in 1903 when young Archie (the second youngest of Roosevelt's children) reveals to his family a Christmas tree he had hidden in a seamstress's closet in the White House.
