The best thing about doing those Hallmark movies is my dad loves them. My dad watches all of those Christmas movies, not just ones I’m in. He watches them all, so the first one I did, it was like my Christmas present to my dad.
I love Christmas. I love the music… I love everything about Christmas. I’m a big fan.
We only open a couple of presents on Christmas morning; we’re all about the stockings – we even get them for the dogs!

For me, hearing my voice is sometimes a little nauseating, especially at Christmas.

Very early on in life, I decided the hell with it: material things weren’t for me. Christmas would come, and other kids would have all these presents, and it wouldn’t bother me a bit.
For a writer, capturing that elusive Christmas morning magic can be deeply problematic.
I was supposed to be working on ‘The Weekenders,’ but I was blocked. I got this crazy idea that I would make Christmas stockings out of blankets.
Amy Poehler and I once ambushed people and made them sing Christmas carols with us.
I am Jewish, but I love Christmas, as most Jews with any taste do, because Hanukkah is lame.
That is what Christmas should be about, I think – togetherness and playfulness. It’s like a game.
Christmas coming means one thing for comedians: office party gigs!

When I first came out, holidays were hard. I reached a point where I didn’t go home anymore. I constructed my own, kind of like, family group around Christmas.

‘A Christmas Story’ has become such a special part of the holiday season for so many families.
