The Bushes’ feast, purse, and mountain bike.

AP reports President Bush and his family are celebrating Christmas at Camp David, along with Laura Bush’s mother, Jenna Welch; the president’s sister, Doro Bush Koch, and her family; and the president’s brother, Marvin, and his family. “The Christmas Day lunch menu called for roast turkey, cornbread dressing, green beans, sweet potato casserole, fruit salad, pumpkin and pecan pies and red velvet cake.”
CNN:


WASHINGTON (CNN) – It's hard to imagine a tough guy from Texas shopping for a pocketbook, but President Bush gave his wife a new purse and a silver tray for Christmas, according to an aide to First Lady Laura Bush.


Sally McDonough, the First Lady's spokeswoman, said that in turn Mrs. Bush is helping quench the President's thirst for vigorous bike rides, even during the frosty months. "For the President, Mrs. Bush is helping to outfit him for cold weather mountain biking," said McDonough. "With a new coat and warming soles."


Meanwhile, the President and Mrs. Bush gave their daughters, Jenna and Barbara, unspecified "household items for their apartments," according to McDonough.
