President Obama and the rest of the First Family have a low-key Christmas vacation planned for Oçahu, deputy press secretary Bill Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One today en route to Honolulu.

“When I said that there were no scheduled public events, there also aren't a lot of scheduled private events,” Burton told reporters. “I think the president is going to wake up and see where the day takes him. I've checked out the forecast for the entire time we're there: tomorrow it's 81 and sunny; Friday it's 81 and sunny; Saturday it's 81 and sunny. So I think that the weather ought to lend itself to some outdoor activity.”
Asked how the First Family plans to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Burton said, “I don't know specifically what's on their agenda this year. They obviously have dinner together and there's exchanging of presents. They'll enjoy some of the same traditions that they've enjoyed over the past years when they go to Hawaiçi. They see some of their friends. There will be some friends from Chicago who come, like the Nesbitts and the Whitakers. And I think he'll just try to enjoy Christmas the way his family has traditionally enjoyed it. This is an opportunity for the president to recharge his batteries, knowing that as president you never really get to power off all the way.”
A reporter asked Burton if Obama got anything for the First Lady for Christmas present and Burton replied, “If he did, I wouldn't be able to tell you.”
