First Lady Michelle Obama will discuss the joys of giving, the power of service and the importance of remembering the contributions of troops and military families during HGTV’s White House Christmas on Saturday, December 8, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The annual one hour special, which has aired on the network since 1998, will return this season with Designer Genevieve Gorder providing a behind-the-scenes look at volunteers and White House staff as they activate the 2012 décor theme, “Joy to All.”

“I think next to the North Pole, this is probably one of the most magical places,” said the First Lady as she discussed the holidays at the White House. “The house comes alive in so many ways and with so many volunteers, and such excellent staff, the transformation happens literally overnight.”
