Prepare for the holidays with the Bush Center

The 2022 George W. Bush Presidential Center ornament, featuring artwork by President George W. Bush, is now available for purchase. This year’s ornament is President Bush’s take on the traditional Christmas angel, painted in the cold wax medium.
Tickets are also available for the annual Merry and Bright Night holiday open house, part of the Engage at the Bush Center series presented by NexPoint. The family event will include holiday cookies, activities for the kids, and storytime with Mrs. Claus. Guests can also join in a fun Bush Center tradition and take a photo with Santa Claus in the Oval Office.
