All Things Bright and Beautiful
Title - Welcome to All Things Bright and Beautiful
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small;
All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all. *

This year’s theme has been chosen to highlight the beauty to be found in nature. Our emphasis for this holiday season is on some of the many ways that plants, trees, fruit and flowers can be the stars of holiday decorating.

The members of the White House Executive Residence staff and floral designers from across the country have worked tirelessly and creatively to make the White House reflect the wonders of nature’s bounty. Our thanks go to all whose deft hands and willing hearts have helped to transform many lovely ideas into reality.

We hope your own holiday season is made brighter by your coming to be part of ours!

George Bush and Laura Bush
