Mary J. Blige on her favorite holiday song, “O Holy Night”: “It just says everything that Christmas is about: the birth of Christ and what we all do in church and out of church. We fall on our knees. That’s what the song is saying.”

Jennifer Hudson on her son’s first Christmas: “I kind of want to bring him his own Santa Claus and just have like a toy store in the house. It’s my warm-up for the years to come when he gets older and he can enjoy it.”
