00:00Because you are, like you were saying, the king of Christmas.
00:02Do you all make time for each other during the holidays?
00:03Or is the holidays kind of like a blur?
00:05No, no, no, no.
00:05The holidays are very, very special for the fam.
00:09For sure.
00:10We go to Colorado.
00:12We've been doing it for 40 plus years.
00:14And it's the same traditions every year.
00:16And it's fun.
00:17I mean, you know, there's always the off year where it's like, what happened?
00:21You know what I mean?
00:22I mean, I thought we were all in love.
00:24Like, what the f*** is going on here?
00:25But that's family.
00:27You know what I mean?
00:27And that's family.
00:28What's your favorite Hudson family tradition?
00:31Well, we keep it very traditional in the sense that we decorate the tree on Christmas Eve.
00:37And then we sit around the fire and read Night Before Christmas.
00:41And someone has chosen each year to sort of read Night Before Christmas.
00:45We've had some doozies.
00:47Some hammered people.
00:49Okay, that's fun.
00:50And they're like, oh God, this is going to be an hour and a half to get through this book.
00:55And then what happens is...
00:56Yeah, yeah.
00:56It's like, Sash is throwing up.
00:59I'm like, no, no, no, he's throwing up.
01:00I said, anyway.
01:01But then it's Merry Christmas to all, to all good night.
01:04And the kids now are Pavlovian.
01:07It's like they go right to the window because they know we have Santa that's running.
01:11Oh, with bells that are like sort of beyond the tree light.
01:15So it's like the silhouette and you see his...
01:18And the person who plays Santa is usually the one who has kids who are older, who are
01:22done, or no kids.
01:25Gotcha.
01:25And it's a real deal because you're all suited up and you're running in three feet of snow
01:29and you're at 8,000 feet altitude.
01:31Yeah.
01:32And you're borderline throwing up.
01:33But you guys go full out for Christmas.
01:35Oh, yeah.
01:35So it makes sense that you have actually become the king of Christmas.
01:39Yeah.
01:39Because I was wondering what your personal relationship like was with Christmas.
01:42And it seems like y'all got a good relationship going on.
01:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:45Very much so.
01:46What about gift giving?
01:47Like with all the siblings and stuff?
01:48Like how does that...
01:49It's nutty, dude.
01:51Yeah.
01:51It's like normally it's like let's just give each other a gift and then we all go crazy.
01:55And then it's like a million gifts and it's like I got another one, I got another one.
01:59And it's become the tradition of just like not just one.
02:02Even though every year we always say, hey, guys, we don't need all this shit.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Let's just go one.
02:09And then you get to shopping like, oh, mom would love this.
02:12And then you've got all the kids and the cousins and it's a huge family that way.
02:17So most of the gifts are going to the kids.
02:19It's also where you just get so excited.
02:21You're like, oh, I want to watch them open this and that.
02:22Like it's like a rush.
02:24Well, that's the thing.
02:25I mean, giving is better than receiving.
02:28Depends to give.
02:29Well, I mean.
02:31You never know.
02:31Well, yeah, yeah.
02:33Sometimes you've got to flip a coin.
02:33I guess it depends.
02:35You know, do we want to receive before we give or give before we receive?
02:39Now that is the age-old question.
02:41Yes.
