Mariah Carey's bump was neatly tied up with the bow on her long red dress
A pregnant and glowing Mariah Carey helped President Barack Obama and his family ring in the holidays Sunday night at the annual 'Christmas in Washington' concert.
Carey showed off her growing baby bump in a long red dress.
She is expecting her first child with husband Nick Cannon.
The festivities, hosted by comedian Ellen DeGeneres, took place at the National Building Museum and benefited the Children's National Medical Center.
The entertainers, including Glee star Matthew Morrison, sang Christmas songs and performed for the Obama family — including first lady Michelle, daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9, and First Grandmother Marian Robinson — in a packed auditorium.
DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossi beamed from her front-row seat by the First Family.
At the end the Obamas joined all the evening's performers on stage for a rendition of 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing'
In remarks to the crowd, Obama talked about the story of Jesus' birth.
'The story and message speak to us today. We are called to love each other as we love ourselves,' Obama said from the stage, with his family surrounding him.
He cited the tougher circumstances for many people these holidays.
'We pray for our troops. We remember those who are out of work and struggling to get by,' Obama said, urging people to show 'charity, passion and goodwill' to their neighbors.
