Interesting read.

On Christmas morning, the Obamas and their two young girls will enjoy a home-cooked Midwestern-inspired breakfast in the two-bedroom Honolulu apartment where Barack once lived with his grandmother. Obama's grandmother used to make the meal, but these days Obama's sister and Michelle usually find themselves in the galley kitchen.

The meal is not fancy, Michelle said. Eggs are scrambled quickly and Michelle opts for pancake mix from a box because from-scratch takes too long. And Barack and Michelle's children, Malia, 6, and Sasha, 3, don't seem to notice the difference.

"It's a big Midwestern breakfast -- bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes and everything with a lot of butter," Michelle said. "It's incredibly casual. We're in flip-flops, shorts and T-shirts and it's 80 degrees."

After breakfast, it's off to the beach for the afternoon. In the evening, the family usually goes out to dinner at a nice restaurant.
