I'm dreaming of a ... tropical Christmas

By GottaLaff

Oh, to be a pool reporter:

President-elect Barack Obama will spend the Christmas and New Year's holidays on an extended vacation with his family in Hawaii, Democratic sources confirmed today. [...] The Christmas trek to Hawaii may be a regular occurrence for Obama in the White House, which would please the press corps, the Secret Service, WHCA and the locals to no end -- though it must be said: Crawford was probably easier to secure.

Mele kalikimaka!
