On the East Foyer of the White House a tree is decorated with ornaments handcrafted by individuals in communities around the world where the Peace Corps are serving. The tree represents the hope for international peace.

Also in the East Foyer is an exhibit of White House Christmas Cards dating back to the Eisenhower Administration, featuring Ray Ellis's orginal watercolor "The White House, The State Dining Room," from which the official 1998 card was created.
