00:00What are your rules when it comes to decorating for the holidays?

00:11So we grab the lights. He gets excited. We pull the tree down. And that Friday and that weekend

00:19is getting the lights going outside, trying to figure out what new ornaments we're going to put

00:34of course, Parker and his wife. They're just like the perfect couple.

00:38We want to keep it simple, but we want to keep it fun. And we want to give our kid,

01:10Christmas on Cherry Lane, a sequel to another Christmas movie I can't talk about,

01:15and a Christmas movie for next year. I have been covered in tinsel for six months out of the year.

01:28Just can't do it.
