Oprah Winfrey will host the primetime special Christmas at the White House featuring the the First Family. The special will give a behind the scenes look at the Obama’s family preparations for their first Christmas in the White House. According to BlackVoices.com…
“Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special’ will follow the talk show maven as she visits the President and First Lady Michelle Obama as they prepare for their family’s first Christmas at the White House.
Winfrey, who was the first major celebrity to endorse Obama’s presidential candidacy, will also chat with the First couple in the exclusive hour-long special.
The multiple Emmy Award-winner will also get a behind-the-scenes tour of the White House’s elaborate Christmas preparations.
Winfrey has not been seen publicly with the Obamas since showing up at both Obama’s victory rally in Chicago last November, as well as his inauguration in Washington, D.C. in January.”
The primetime special will air December 13th on ABC at 10 PM EST.

What a treat. I gave up TV in 1986 started back watching during the primary election. I rarely watch now, I have to post it on my calendar to remember to watch, can’t miss this one. My TV is set on Oprah or sometimes I I switch over to CNN to see how our President in doing. Looking forward to the Christmas Special.

There is a teaser on Huffington Post, Oprah welcomes guests to a behind the scenes tour of White House holiday decorations and an interview with the first couple. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/02/oprah-previews-obama-whit_n_376757.html

Why do I get the feeling this will be less a special show about the White House Christmas decorations and instead just another chance for Oprah to show her face on TV? Hopefully the TV camera will move away from Ms. O for a few seconds. BTW Oprah was last seen with the Obamas in Copenhagen during the ill-fated trip to bring the Olympics to Chicago.

@lavaughn You dare speak ill of Oprah? OFf with your head! Imma miss Oprah something awful even though I haven’t watched her show in a decade. She was kinda like a building you pass on the way to work everyday until one day they demolish it. You’ll miss her when she is gone. Now if Desiree Rogers pops up in the special then I’ll have something to say.

@LAVAUGHN stop hating on Oprah. There’s no denying that she is good at what she does. Her face is on TV at least once a day, and in some markets twice. She is not starving for media attention. She sets the trends, she doesn’t have to follow. Name one other person you can simply associate with and become a millionaire overnight.
@PEPPER it will be my first time watching as well.
