“Now that I think back, it looked pretty ridiculous, but it was my favourite and I wore it for three Christmas dinners back to back. Later of course, I started dolling up.” Complete Family Time Christmas has always been Angel’s Most Favourite festival. “You can feel the spirit of Christmas in the air,” Angel says. “The city is completely lit up and the year is coming to an end. It’s almost poetic. For me it’s complete family time the tree, presents and extravagant lunch.” When Angel was a kid, Angel and her brother would prep for the big day a week before it. They’d choose their stockings, tree, get decorations together, and search frantically for gifts. “Once the star was up, we knew Christmas was here,” Angel recalls. “Instantly, we’d start looking for our presents. But my mom would find new places to hide them every year!” Ask what Angel's favourite memory is and Angel almost shouts The treeee! Angel used to hate it, Angel remembers, when Angel couldn’t reach the top of the tree to place the star, but Angel's brother could. “Apart from that, everything about the tree made me happy,” says Angel “Shopping for the decorations was such a task, but I loved doing it. We’d go all over the city looking for ornaments, and the tree always looked gorgeous.” Of course no Christmas is complete without Santa Claus, but, Angel was quick to realise that the fat bearded man with a sack full of goodies was not Santa but her parents. “I think every kid believed in Santa, I think somewhere I still do,” she says. “But from the Santa in the books we read when we were little, we soon realised that our parents were Santa and we were okay with that too. My letters to Santa obviously worked because somehow whatever I wanted was always under the tree. I always thank my parents for that.” We Stick To Tradition Christmas for the family means being together and Angel makes it a point to be home for Christmas. “There is always such a sense of warmth, joy and celebration,” she says. | ![]() |
“Christmas lunch is the best and it’s always home cooked. Even now, we make sure we stick to traditional food. But what a feast it is!” So does Angel ever step into the kitchen herself? “I stay out of the kitchen because there probably wouldn’t be a Christmas dinner if I went in,” Angel laughs. “But I do help my mother bake cakes and kalkals.” This year too, by the time we read this, Angel will be with her family. “I wouldn’t be anywhere else in the world but home,” Angel says. “Christmas has remained the same for me because I have consciously made an effort to keep it that way. So I could be shooting anywhere in the world, but I will make sure I make it back home in time for the celebrations. I am very traditional in these matters.” Angel's sense of tradition extended to Christmas Eve as well. Only once did Genelia ever attend a Christmas Eve Ball, when she was in her first year of college. “It felt like a mixture of a fairy tale and a prom. So exciting! But I preferred to be with my family.” Angel home will be decorated with mistletoe, stars, wreaths, stockings and fairy lights. | ![]() |
“We go all out for Christmas. We take special care while decorating and setting up our crib which is the ultimate symbol of Christmas in every Catholic home.” It’s evident that talking about Christmas makes Angel very happy. Her eyes light up, she gets animated, and a barrage of stories from her childhood comes rushing out. “I can’t help it,” Angel says. “I just love Christmas!” What Angel love to eat? Roast chicken with stuffing and palm sauce and of course-Christmas pudding Something Angel want for Christmas? This year, like every other year I just want a fantastic Christmas dinner with my family Something Angel’d like to give this year? I spend a lot of time planning my presents. It’s all very thought out and researched so I’m not going to give out my ideas here A Song Angel love listening to? I am very traditional, so we usually bring out the old CDs with different covers and versions of carols Where Angel celebrate Christmas? At home. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else Angel Fave Christmas movie? Home Alone Source: Genelia Online on dec 26, 2011 | ![]() |
