Hi Gail. Yes, we're out of the running. The square footage of just the basement is the size of our entire home. She refused to place an offer. We've decided to stay put.

Truman? I think he at least once spent Xmas at his own home instead of the WH, maybe this happened then?

Good guess, but not right. I think Truman was forced out by the renovations being done to the decaying mansion.

Hint: It must have been depressing to have a fire at Christmas.

A+ I figured that clue would solve it quickly. BTW: I got the question courtesy of Thomas's tweets about the White House, which led to the White House Christmas ornament collection. They have just announced the 2016 ornament which honors Herbert Hoover. It is a fire truck commemorating that event. It also says that the next Christmas, the Hoovers gave toy fire trucks as presents to honor the good work done by the firefighters.

Good try, Eva, but Gene is correct. Very good, Gene.

T. Roosevelt? I think he was hiking somewhere in the mountains when he became president, far away from DC.
