Tori Spelling Dishes On Her Favorite Christmas Things

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling is one of those moms that I often wonder how she does it all. She is the queen of multi-tasking she has two kids and a million jobs. In between the launching of a new venture and holiday shopping she had a chance to sit down with PopEater and talk about Christmas. Here are the highlights:

On Christmas shopping for her son, Liam, 2: He’s asking for everything now. He’s getting to that age that with commercials, everything that comes on, he’s like ‘I want that! I like that! I want that! Get that for me!’ He’s really into monsters. eBay’s really cool because he’s really big into monsters and cars. I kind of gauged from that since he’s into monsters and cars … so Transformers. I was like, ‘OK, I’m gonna have a little fun with this. I’m gonna go retro.’ So then I went on eBay and they have retro Transformers.

On rumors of a Spelling Christmas past filled with fake snow: A snow machine on Christmas morning would have been awesome if it had been real. That never happened. The game of telephone is a dangerous game. Maybe that came from me saying my dad had brought in bags of ice on our little side lawn he put on to make it snow.

On her favorite Christmas memory: My favorite holiday memory was that every Christmas Eve my parents would have a Santa come over. I believed in Santa till I was 12, which I know is really late in life. [My parents] were really good at it, they would always have a pretend Santa call every Christmas Eve and be like ‘Were you a good girl this year?’ and I’d be like ‘Yes Santa!’ Then he’d be like ‘Well, I’m on my way!’ Then a Santa would show up on Christmas Eve and my brother and I would sit on his lap, even though I’m sure I was really heavy at age 12, but we’d sit on his lap and be like ‘We’re really excited for Christmas!’ Then we’d put our cookies out and we would put out carrots for the reindeer, then we’d go to bed and there would be presents on Christmas morning. That was our big tradition.

On making Christmas memories with her new family: We do a lot of baking and cooking at our house. The kids and I have been baking a lot of cookies, decorating the tree together, we’re doing the Advent calendar, cause I did that growing up, that was a big thing. I got a little Advent calendar for them, it has little chocolates in it everyday. They remember, even though they’re little, everyday they’re like ‘Calendar! Calendar!’ That’s something my parents did with us. It’s not about the wealth. It’s not about a huge snow machine. It’s about the little tiny traditions that are really important.

We wish the Spelling-McDermott’s a very Merry Christmas!
