Holiday #WHTweetup: Shine, Give, Share...Tweet

Summary: 
Twitter followers from all around the country visit the White House for a special holiday tweetup.

This week, we invited 150 of our Twitter followers from around the country to the White House for a special holiday tweetup. Tweetup attendees heard from White House officials, ranging from Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra to "Crust Master" (or White House pastry chef) Bill Yosses. In the afternoon, tweeps toured the White House, joining more than 85,000 visitors that will visit this holiday season. Visitors tweeted along the way -- sharing what they heard from White House officials, Bo decor sightings, and more.
