Toy Trains, Live Music, Holiday Treats and Photos with Santa

December 12th and 19th!

• Take photos with Santa Claus in President Nixon’s Oval Office! (digital photo included)
• Delight in live music featuring Christmas classics in the magnificent White House East Room
• Take photographs with the beautiful Pat Nixon White House Gingerbread House --- custom-baked to look like President Nixon’s birthplace! Sponsored by the Cookie Element of Yorba Linda.

• Create festive Christmas ornaments to hang on your Christmas tree
• Decorate sugar cookies and enjoy complimentary hot cocoa

PLUS: Discover the history of America's 37th President in the Nixon Library's award-winning presidential museum galleries.
