Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt,Angelina Jolie,celebrity,celebrity lives,Christmas Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt As the Jolie-Pitt clan gets ever bigger, it’s no surprise that Angelina doesn’t fancy cooking a Turkey dinner for Brad and the kids come Christmas day.  Last year, the Curious Case of Benjamin Button actor and the world’s most well-paid actress took the kids for a drive through McDonalds on Christmas day. Fancy!  Brad recently told Hello magazine about gift giving in the Jolie-Pitt household, which we imagine to be full of expensive presents.  He said, "So we have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum. The rule is that everyone’s got to make something for someone else, you got to put time into it.”  We can’t say we’re not a little disappointed.

Mariah Carey

Cheryl Cole,mariah Carey,seasonal event,celebrity,guy ritchie,celebrity lives,Christmas Mariah Carey She\'s all over the radio this time of year with her classic ditty ‘All I want for Christmas is You\', but what does the notorious diva Mariah Carey get up to during the festive season? Well, she holidays in Aspen, where she gets up to some pretty peculiar stuff. \'I like to get out of the hot tub and roll in the snow. It\'s a tradition for us to have Santa Claus-looking bikinis, jump in the hot tub, and roll in the fresh snow. Somebody told me it was a tradition in Aspen, but maybe they were lying to me\'. Makes us want to grab a cardy just thinking about it, Mariah.

The Beckhams

Brad Pitt,Victoria Beckham,seasonal event,spice girls,celebrity,celebrity lives,Christmas The Beckhams If you believed last year\'s Tesco ads, Posh Spice does her own Christmas grocery shopping. Hmmmm. In 2004, David and Victoria hired a £1000-a-day butler to help them unwrap their presents. Well, it is very tiring tearing all that wrapping paper and the sellotape can be a bit finickity to get off.   This year, the former Spice Girl and husband David were reported to have been arguing over where to spend the holidays. David wanted to head to the UK and see family, while Posh wanted to spend it in LA as she felt it would send the right message to her American fans.  It looks like David wears the trousers (most of the time!) in this relationship, as the family made their way back to the UK on the 19th December.

Nicky and Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton,seasonal event,celebrity,nicky hilton,celebrity lives,Christmas Nicky and Paris Hilton While last year the Hilton heiress’ spent their holidays in Maui, Hawaii. This year you’ll find Nicky and Paris skiing in Aspen, before heading to Sydney Australia to host a new year’s eve party. Paris recently bought herself an early Christmas present. The self-appointed American Princess gave herself a £100,000 pink Bentley, a childhood fantasy of the heiress’ fulfilled, as the car resembles Barbie’s own car. Joy!

Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette

David Arquette,Jennifer Aniston,seasonal event,celebrity,courtney cox,celebrity lives,Christmas Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette Courtney and former Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston have a tradition of spending Christmas Eve together, meeting at Mastros in Beverly Hills while  last Christmas David Arquette was spotted chatting to Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine, at an LA Laker’s Game.  Apparently Christmas in the Cox-Arquette household isn’t much of a family affair.

Cheryl and Ashley Cole

Cheryl Cole,seasonal event,ashley cole,celebrity,celebrity lives,The X Factor,Christmas Cheryl and Ashley Cole Following a turbulent 2008, X Factor judge Cheryl Cole is planning on spending a romantic Christmas with Chelsea footballer hubby Ashley Cole. Speaking with Closer magazine, Cheryl said, “I like that idea of doing something old-fashioned for Christmas and making it very romantic. I’d love to fill stockings with romantic and thoughtful presents for Ashley!” 

Britney Spears

Britney Spears,seasonal event,celebrity,celebrity lives,Christmas Britney Spears Newly reformed Britney Spears said that Christmas is ‘family time..’ this year, although judging by the size of her tree in her Christmas message,  we get the feeling that it might be an excessive Christmas.  Britney also spent a day carolling with Ellen Degeneres  recently and spread her holiday cheer, although we’re not too sure about the singing.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie

Madonna,celebrity,guy ritchie,celebrity lives,Christmas Madonna and Guy Ritchie It’ll be awkward this Christmas in the Ritchie household.  Recently divorced Queen of Pop Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie plan to bury the hatchet and spend the day together at Ashcombe House in Wiltshire for the sake of their children. But that’s a big difference from two years ago, when the married couple were said to have cancelled Christmas, maybe they’ve realised that presents can buy you favouritism after all?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise,Katie Holmes,seasonal event,celebrity,celebrity lives,Christmas Tom Cruist and Katie Holmes Do Scientologists celebrate Christmas? Apparently so, and the news from the Cruise/Holmes PR machine last year was that ex-Dawson\'s Creek star Katie designed the family Christmas card herself... wait there\'s more... the card said ‘Happy holidays and best wishes for a joyous new year. Love Tom, Kate, Bella, Connor and Suri\' in a brown font. The big controversy? It was signed Kate, not Katie. Apparently Tom prefers the more grown-up moniker ‘Kate\'. You can have a look at the infamous card for yourself. 
This year Kate took daughter Suri to see The Nutcracker at the NYC Ballet. The supercouple are planning on spending Christmas in New York, as Kate’s performing on Broadway in All My Sons.

Katy Perry

seasonal event,celebrity,katy perry,celebrity lives,Christmas Katy Perry Katy Perry looked like a Christmas Cracker in this Christmas tree outfit at this month’s Jingle Ball in New Jersey. This Christmas new-kid-on-the-block Perry will be sleeping in, she’s not been home for a few months as she’s been working like a trooper to get her music heard.  Katy’s Christmas wish is for success in 2009, or a pink pony– she might want to have a chat with Paris Hilton.
