n. through meetings with adoptive families and children in foster care, writings and speeches, the first lady has focused on making it easier for children to move from foster care to permanent homes, and on increasing the number of adoptions. the first lady played an important role in legislative reform, and was central to the passage of the adoption and safe family act of 1997.

the holiday season is another popular time at the white house. every year, the christmas tree in the blue room is a favorite attraction for the tour goers. for christmas 1997, the president and first lady chose santa's workshop as the holiday theme, and invited artists from around the country to design ornaments for the tree, including creative versions of "santa's suit", designed by fashion designers, along with glass and needlepoint ornaments depicting characters, scenes, and imagery from santa's workshop. here, the first lady shows visitors a few of her favorite ornaments on the white house christmas tree.
the first lady loves art, and she has said that sculpture is one of her favorite art forms. in fact, her first date with president clinton was in the sculpture garden at yale university. as first lady, mrs. clinton worked with the committee for the preservation of the white house, and the white house historical society to bring an exhibit of contemporary american sculpture to the white house.
the current installation in the series, "twentieth century american sculpture at the white house," is subtitled "honoring native america". this is the first showing ever in the nation's capitol of a large and representative collection of contemporary native american sculpture. previous installations have focused on the different geographical regions of the country. in establishing this exhibit, the first lady wanted to showcase the best of american sculpture, in america's home, making it accessible to the thousands of people who visit the white house everyday.
like her predecessors, first lady hillary rodham clinton brings to the role of first lady of the united states her own special talents, experience, and interests.
