December 14, 2009 -- Young talent Justin Bieber joined fellow singers Usher, Mary J Blige and a host of other artists in Washington, D.C. yesterday (December 13). Their gathering to celebrate Christmas with the First Family took place in the National Museum Building.

Upon arriving in our nation's capital, the 15-year-old Bieber tweeted his excitement for fans, putting up the following on Twitter.com:

'in DC preparing to sing for President OBAMA!! yeah im nervous. if i mess up he might deport me back to Canada. lol'

This golden opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with the President of The United States and the rest of the Obama family was a real thrill for the up-and-coming Canadian singer. Us regular folks may not be offered such a personal visit with our country's top leader any time soon, but we always have the chance to tour the White House (details on this Washington, D.C. travel must by clicking HERE).

Meanwhile, ordinary people like me who can't get into all the nooks and crannies of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but still seek a great view of the White House can do so from The Hay-Adams hotel, situated across the street from where the Obamas live.

As for the special, called 'Christmas in Washington' and taped last night on which Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige Usher, and many others -- including Michelle and Barack Obama -- performed, the concert airs on TNT December 20 for all to watch. So, stay tuned.
