Speaking to Reuters, actors and singers shared their seasonal
thoughts.
"Happy holidays ... 2016 was an interesting, potentially
difficult year, so let's just get it together, let's get some
love going for 2017," Hollywood star Will Smith said.
His "Collateral Beauty" co-star Helen Mirren said: "Be full, be
happy and hopefully be peaceful and let's all work towards peace
in the new year because, honestly, it's time."
Canadian singer Shania Twain said she liked to be surrounded by
snow for the festivities. "I come from a very cold part of
Canada, so there's always snow. I like traditional Christmases
... so I go for a pretty quiet low-key traditional Christmas
environment."
Actor Liam Neeson said he also favored tradition: "We celebrate
Christmas, myself and my two sons very, very traditionally. Lots
of food, maybe too much food, a few gifts and a few prayers too
with thanks, certainly with thanks ... It's a very important
time of the year."
However at this month's 2016 Fashion Awards in London, rocker
Marilyn Manson said he "hates Christmas".
"I've spent every Christmas without a Christmas tree ... since
some while, I'm like Charlie Brown's Christmas - the sad tree,
the Grinch," he said.
