The President: Give it up for Santa's biggest,

but as you heard earlier, he is a big softie on the inside.

Even played me once on "Saturday Night Live."

I want to thank all the incredible performers

for dazzling us with their talents tonight.

And we want to thank all the people behind

the scenes who help make this wonderful event possible

has benefited a remarkable institution --

That's where dedicated medical professionals provide

world-class care to our most precious resource --

our children -- every single day of the year.

Of course, this holiday is all about the birth

A young soon-to-be mother and her husband of modest means

traveled to Bethlehem and sought shelter for the night.

a Savior was born who would change the world.

He administered to the poor and to the sick,

to the stranger and the outcast on society's margins.

His life of service teaches us that our individual

salvation is wrapped up in the salvation of others.

And two millennia later, it lifts the hearts of billions

around the world, Christians and non-Christians alike.

In the hustle and bustle of Christmas season,

may we all do our best to follow his example,

to reach out to someone whose Christmas isn't so jolly;

to turn our blessings into kindness and compassion;

to treat one another the way we would like

To all our men and women in uniform serving far

from home, and to the families who miss them,

we thank you for your service and sacrifice,

and we're thinking of you this holiday season.

And to every American, from the Obama family
