Tonight was a very special one for the Backstreet Boys. They were the first of the many special guests to sing for President Obama and his family during "Christmas in Washington". It was hosted by Hugh Jackman and will be aired by TNT next Dec. 20th at 8pm EST.
Opening the night, the Backstreet Boys sang a medley of "Christmas Time" and "It's Christmas Time Again". The line up also included other guests as Janelle Monae, Sheryl Crow and others. President Obama also made his speech and said that it's "a time to remember the story of a child born to two faithful travelers on earth".
Talking about child, family and Holidays, during their rehearsal earlier today the Backstreet Boys said the holidays are a time to focus on their families.
"We're all with our families (during the holidays). That's our holiday gift to each other: peace of mind and separation for a second because we're always together," said A.J. McLean. "We have a really unique dynamic," says Brian Littrell of the group's longevity. "It's something that we're really proud of."
Of the holidays, they all have special plans. "This will be my daughter's second Christmas...now she's all about opening up presents, so that's really cool," says McLean. As for Nick Carter, he'll be celebrating the holiday with his fiance, Lauren Kitt. "We've taken some (past) traditions and we're also starting new ones," says Carter. "She's half Mexican, so we'll be eating tamales on Christmas. She introduced that to me, and then I introduced her to Charlie Brown Christmas, which I love watching."
Howie Dourough will be attending midnight mass on Christmas Eve with his family, "then we come back and my mom makes a bunch of Spanish traditional foods...then the adults actually open gifts the night before, and then we get things ready at my mom's house for the kids the next morning."
