Christopher joins Grammer and Walsh&#8217;s kids Faith, 12, Gabriel, 10, and James, 8, as well as Grammer&#8217;s daughters Spencer, 41, Greer, 33, and Mason, 23, and son Jude, 20, from previous relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Reflecting on this past year, Grammer tells PEOPLE, &#8220;We are closer than we&#8217;ve ever been as a family, and I&#8217;m proud of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for Grammer&#8217;s favorite holiday traditions with his family, he says they &#8220;do a Christmas roast dinner&#8221; every year. &#8220;The family doesn&#8217;t like turkey quite so much, but I try to do prime rib and a turkey and a chicken, and we do Yorkshire puddings and mint sauce and all kinds of stuff,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That&#8217;s about it, really. We love trimming the tree. We go early on the tree, at least three weeks before Christmas, right after Thanksgiving,&#8221; he continues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hollingsworth, meanwhile, is going to spend the holidays with his wife, Nila Myers, and their three kdis in Vancouver. &#8220;It gets very snowy at the top of the mountain, so we usually go up to the top of the mountain, and I&#8217;ll tie a bunch of sleds together behind me and I&#8217;ll put on this little harness and basically do my best Rudolph impression and I&#8217;ll snow shoe,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The actor adds, &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of magical. There&#8217;s a few different spots where they light up the trail with Christmas lights and my wife and I hike through it, and the kids get to be pulled behind dad. Dad gets a good workout.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With\u00a0The Christmas Ring, out now, Grammer hopes to spread &#8220;the spirit of Christmas, selflessness and forgiveness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/kelsey-grammer-got-crap-about-having-a-newborn-at-home-exclusive-11846232\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Benjamin Hollingsworth tells PEOPLE he gave Kelsey Grammer &#8220;lots of crap&#8221; about having &#8220;a newborn&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":401354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[190028,185,190031,190030,167189,171,190029,167190,146351,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-401353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-benjamin-hollingsworth","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-christmas-ring","11":"tag-christopher","12":"tag-eighth-child","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-karen-kingsbury","15":"tag-kayte-walsh","16":"tag-kelsey-grammer","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115604832716817395","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
