During a visit to a holiday event at the Children's National Health System on Monday, First Lady Michelle Obama didn't do a very good job keeping her family's Christmas presents a secret. When a patient asked her what she was getting the president, Obama said, "All right, press, don't tell him. He's going to get some workout stuff. It's not going to be very interesting this year, honey. Sorry."

Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama aren't getting especially exciting Christmas presents either, People reports: The teens only wanted cash and their favorite dish, mac and cheese, for Christmas.
