Christmas at the White House
Sometimes I wonder what the highs command in chief and family feel about Christmas and what they had memories about Christmas while kid? And all answer on Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special which airs on ABC on December 13.
President Barack Obama and first lady, Michelle Obama, talked about holiday gifts to Oprah when she went to White House to film about Christmas Special.
When Oprah asks Baracks if he feels more pressure to give good gifts now that he’s president, or if he can get away with giving a less desirable gift.
His answer ignites a cute debate with first lady.
“I have given some good gifts – you get some nice stuff – here’s the general rule, I give nicer stuff than I get,” Barack begins.
Michelle quickly interrupts, “No way! I gave you good gifts last year!”
“Absolutely – aw, come on, please,” he replies. “You know, it’s like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.”
Michelle quips, “We’re talking about Christmas, don’t become distracted…”
They also revealed about the best present they got as kids,
Michelle says her top gift was “a metal doll house with plastic furniture … I remember I really didn’t know how to set up a house, so I had all the furniture lined up along the walls, as opposed to nestled around the fireplace, but I loved that little doll house.”
Barack’s top present?
“A bike one year,” he tells Winfrey. “Getting that first, big kid 10-speed bike that’s always … special.”
One year, Barack – whose parents separated when he was 2-years old and later divorced – also says his father visited him from his native Kenya and gave him a basketball.
“It wasn’t until much later in life that I realized, ‘Actually, he gave me that basketball,’” he says. “I think there was some cause and effect there in terms of the degree to which I just ended up taking up the sport as a kid who didn’t know his dad.”
The first Christmas for Obama’s family will be so much fun at the White House…
