Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys at the White House!

Featured in the 2004 White House Christmas theme, "A Season of Stories," are figures on one of the White House mantels of Nancy, Frank, and Joe. These were some of First Lady Laura Bush's favorites--she loved reading Nancy Drew books. Images of the figures shown above--taken from TV as captures, so they are a little fuzzy. Many decorations also grace the stately tree. Many other children's books and characters grace the decorations. First Lady Laura Bush said, "I really wanted to have one Christmas with all the stories that I think are so important for Americans to share with their children."
