President Obama and his family will forego the traditional American Christmas entrees of turkey or ham this Saturday, and instead feast on some juicy steaks.

The White House announced on Friday that the Obamas' Christmas dinner in Hawaii will consist of steak, roast potatoes, and green beans, and for dessert, pies.

The menu sounds nearly the same as it did last year, when the family had roast beef with "traditional" sides on Christmas Day. 

As for gifts, last year the White House revealed that the president and first lady decided not to exchange gifts with each other, setting what may become a precedent for this Christmas. Instead, they exchanged gifts with daughters Sasha and Malia (shown here in Hawaii last January), and with Obama's sister's family. 

In a recent interview, Obama revealed that his daughters have requested "gift cards" and "cash" from Santa this year.
