The 2006 White House Christmas OrnamentThe 2006 White House Christmas ornament honors President Chester A. Arthur (1881–85). After serving for just six months as vice president to James A. Garfield, Arthur assumed the presidency in September 1881 when Garfield was killed by an assassin's bullet. He brought a luxurious style to the White House signaling the nation's return to prosperity after the economic troubles of the late 1870s.

The design of the 2006 ornament is inspired by period motifs and the rich decor of President Chester Arthur's White House. The North Portico of the White House is depicted in the center beneath an American bald eagle. The two translucent ovals that flank the center depict American dogwood blossoms incorporated in a large screen of red, white, and blue glass, which stood in the Entrance Hall until the turn of the century. Naturalistic leaves comprise the gold-plated outer wreath of the ornament and are derived from murals painted in the Entrance Hall.

2005 Official White House OrnamentThe 2005 ornament honors President James A. Garfield. During his years in office, President Garfield attacked political corruption and restored a prestige that the presidency had lost during the Reconstruction period.

The 2005 White house ornament is gold-plated brass with a round ceramic stone that features an illustration based on a period engraving of the South Front of the White House. The color scheme and highly decorative wreath design are derived from art objects in the collection at Lawnfield, the historic Garfield house in Mentor, Ohio. The JAG monogram on the ornament was styled after Garfield’s inaugural ball decorations, which now hang at Lawnfield. The pattern on the 2005 ornament box is based on high Victorian flocked wallpaper in the Garfield house.
