Before John F Kennedy took that fateful trip to Dallas in November 1963, the President and the First Lady ordered 500 Christmas cards - cards that would never be sent.
The cards, which were ordered from Hallmark, featured a colour photograph of an 18th century Neapolitan crèche that had been displayed in the East Room of the White House, a religious image had never before been put on a White House Christmas card.
Inside the cards was an embossed seal of an American Eagle with an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other and the message: “With our wishes for a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year."
