House thia C h ristm as, c a rry in g on a
tradition started Decem ber 25, 1800. i
when K ris K rln g le called on little
Suzannah, granddaughter of P re si
dent John Adam e from Mossachu- I
setts.
The W hite House in those days
was In an unfinished state and the'
great b arn lik e rooms w ere only
scantily furnished, providing a g reat
contrast to the b eau tifully appointed
mansion of today.
Yet the sam e
joyous sp irit prevailed on that
C hristm as m orning, m ore than a
century and a q u a rte r ago, as that
found in the W hite House thia Yule-
tide.
F ro m e a rly years of our country,
Presidents have set aside the heavy
burden of stBte and m ade m e rry
