The holidays for many are filled with food, family, festivities, gifts, and holiday traditions. It's no exception for celebrities who are always in the public eye.

When I first started this event, I had no idea it would be such a big hit. But then again, how could it not be, with all of the good food, good people and lots of love. Nobody has to cook or clean, and I get to enjoy everybody's company on Christmas at my own house. How cool is that?"-Kem, recording artistCamille Winbush"My family has a unique tradition of not having a traditional meal on Christmas. We don't do turkey and all the fixings, we have a different theme each year. One year was seafood, another was tacos, and this year we're doing chili and cornbread.
