Christmas Memories - December 22, 2006

Here are some of the highlights from the Interview.

Tommy: Let’s find out from Ashlee Simpson about the best gift she’s ever received.

Ashlee Simpson: I don’t know a lot of people ask me what my favorite Christmas gift is and I never can think which one was my favorite. It was just fun to open up everything. I always like stockings though cause they had a bunch of like for me my Mom would put a bunch of beauty supplies in there and I loved that.

Tommy: Next up we’ve got Jump5 with some of their interesting presents. So what’s some of the coolest things they’ve received?

Chris Fedun: I think the favorite thing I received is I got a dog when I was about 10 years old.

Lesley Moore: My favorite gift that I ever got for Christmas was a pair of diamond hoop earrings.

Brittany Hargest: Okay as a gag gift one time umm I make this big deal about not really drinking tap water. I only like bottled or fountain water, so my Mom and Dad got me one of those water cooler things that you can just put your cup in.

Brandon Hargest: Now I’m not sure what my favorite gift I received was cause I can’t think off the top of my head now but I remember the favorite gift that I gave before and that was to my Mom and Dad. Brittany and I got them a 50 something inch Plasma HD TV and my Dad almost cried when he saw it cause he’s always wanted one. So that was a really cool Christmas. It was a lot of fun for the whole family.

Tommy: And what do the Pussycat Dolls look forward to every year?

Nicole Scherzinger: Just doing the traditional things with the family every year. Nothing ever really changes, everybody cooks the same dish meets the G-Ma’s, opens there presents at the same time and yeah, just traditions.

Kimberly Wyatt: Christmas movies on Christmas Eve has always been my thing like Scrooge, The Elf, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, all those are…

Carmit Bachar: The Christmas classics like The Elf with Will Ferrell – hahaha! I don’t really have any traditions I just go with the flow. I usually see my Grandmother every Christmas so that’s really a nice present.

Kimberly Wyatt: Carmit celebrates Hanukah right?

Carmit Bachar: Yeah, I do. I celebrate Hanukah, but I also celebrate Christmas cause a lot of my family members celebrate Christmas. So I go visit them and it’s a holiday treat.

Tommy: I can only image what some of the highlights were at the Jonas Brothers household.

Joe Jonas: Well my mom makes a lot of cookies around Christmas and that’s always a highlight. She makes these wreaths, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ohh, and then she makes the wreath cookies that make corn flakes but she puts green dye with marshmallow stuff on them.

Kevin Jonas: It’s pretty much a Rice Crispy treat but in the shape of a wreath.

Joe Jonas: It’s so good! And she has Red Hots on them. She makes the best cookies.

Kevin Jonas: And then of course putting up the Tree. My Dad is the light Nazi when it comes to the tree. It takes us impossibly, what – right now since we’re on the road so much we bought a tree that already has lights on it. Yeah, we kinda, I know – whatever. But umm, it seriously used to take us five hours to put the lights on the tree. So he’s pretty crazy about that but you know I love it now, all the lights are perfect.

Kansas Calkhoven: One thing we love to do as a family over the holidays is create memories and have lots of fun with each other. We love to go out into our hot tub.

Jamie Calkhoven: Okay, so we live in Iowa where it’s really cold and we usually get lots of snow.

Kansas Calkhoven: Yeah, a lot as in two feet sometimes. We love to play games with each other and especially bets. So one thing we do is, Jasmyn gets in the middle of the hot tub and us four other girls get on the outside. Well, we see who can race around the house the fastest.

Jamie Calkhoven: In our swimsuits!

Kansas Calkhoven: But the thing is we can’t have any short cuts. Not through the house not through the garage or jump over anything.
