Formidable winter storms cannot cool these celebrities’ spirits.
Emma Thompson, who stars in Netflix’s “Matilda the Musical,” recently told USA TODAY what she loves most about Christmas.
“I like everything,” says Thompson. “I like decorating the tree. I like singing carols. I like going to carol services. I’m going to do a reading at Westminster Abbey[in London]. ”
Her husband, actor Greg Wise, on the other hand, prefers to avoid the Christmas cheer altogether: “He’d rather go somewhere else,” jokes Thompson. “A cave, basically. No decorations.”
