Christmas has arrived! It is the time when families gather to celebrate, these are days of excitement and joy. Or not?
There are people who are the living image of the Grinch, a being who hates Christmas and tries to destroy it no matter what. The villain who was brought to life by Jim Carrey is already part of the popular imagination, and his name describes those who have lost the Christmas spirit. Some celebrities do not hide their similarities with the protagonist.
Hugh Grant. “Christmas has always given me the creeps, even when I was little.” The actor is terrified by the figure of Santa Claus, “an old pervert coming down the chimney”.
Ariana Grande. Father Christmas also causes him rejection, since he has disappointed him many times. The artist feels that there are tons of broken hearts.
Lady Gaga. He bit a stuffed Santa that someone threw at him during a concert in London in 2010. “I hate the holidays. I’m alone and I feel miserable, damn stuffed toy,” she said on stage.
Jennifer Aniston. She revealed that a traumatic and humiliating experience when she was a child makes her hate these holidays: “I was forced to do the belly dance on Christmas Eve. My father’s family is Greek and I had to dance.”
Noel Gallagher. The Oasis guitarist considers that “the whole period is a stain on society”. “Too much food, too much We are the world, the sweaters, the TV presenters, the commercials, the weather, the faces of disappointed children in my house…”.
Miley Cyrus. “Call me the Grinch, but Christmas always makes me deeply sad. It is full of excesses and greed. I just hope that this year everyone gives love and acceptance not only to their own family, but also to those who don’t have everything they want due to unfair circumstances in life.”
Still, other celebrities are enjoying the Christmas celebrations. Some have starred in the films or Christmas carols typical of these holidays, and others, simply, are faithful to the spirit of Christmas, people who live this time with the illusion of a child.
John Legend. “I love Christmas music. I grew up in a very musical family, and we loved celebrating Christmas. The most important thing was to gather around the piano.” He considers that his voice is “made for Christmas music”, and it has become a classic at this time of year.
Katy Perry. “I’m the person who, the day after Thanksgiving, says: ‘Christmas music already!'” The performer believes that the celebrations give her warmth. Enjoy that “everyone has this feeling of togetherness”.
Jennifer Lopez. Christmas is his favorite holiday. Enjoy some Puerto Rican traditions: “We cook cakes, and lazy rice, and ham.”
Reese Witherspoon. He loves carols. The actress has loved parties since she was a child: “I remember when I would wrap up and walk around the neighborhood. It’s one of my favorite Christmas memories.”
Neil Patrick Harris. He continues to live the Christmas spirit through his children. He has recovered his Christmas spirit thanks to them, and they celebrate Christmas night in a special way: “Let’s walk and talk about the things we’re grateful for, hoping Santa doesn’t bring coal.”
Katie Holmes: “The holiday season means a lot to me because it’s a time to be with family and tell the people you love everything you care about.”
Either way, Christmas has arrived for everyone, holiday-lovers and Grinches alike; some will enjoy it, and others will have to try to survive.
