Christmas in the Nixon White House was a lively affair. First Lady Pat Nixon told ‘Empire Magazine’ their holiday traditions included the president playing ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ on the piano for friends and family. Another Nixon tradition was to decorate their Christmas trees with decorations made by disabled workers. The 1969 tree, dubbed the “American Flower Tree,” was decorated with velvet and satin ornaments featuring each state’s flower.
