Liza Minnelli feels grateful to be home for Christmas after missing so many festivities while on tour.
The 78-year-old star is finally able to spend Christmas at home, after years of being away from her loved ones during the festive season.
Liza, who is working on her memoir and a television show about her life, revealed that being in one place for Christmas is the ultimate luxury.
"Holidays are always spent with family and loved ones. Finally!" she told People magazine. "Today, I have that luxury. For years, I lived on the road and was travelling for most of them... I missed so much. That doesn't happen anymore."
Like many of us, she'll be listening to some festive tunes over the holidays - but for the Academy Award winner, some of them have personal meaning.
"My favourite Christmas carol is my mother's version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," the Cabaret star revealed, referencing her mother Judy Garland, who died in 1969.
Her director dad Vincente Minnelli, who died in 1986, also plays a big part in her current Christmas traditions.
"Mama got the song rewritten and Papa directed the film (Meet Me In St. Louis)," she said. "It's a family tradition that makes us all laugh and cry."

Drake’s Christmas giveaway stream with Adin Ross may have been about giving back to fans, but his ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar also lingered in the winter air.
During the lengthy broadcast, which took place on Thursday (December 26) and saw the pair donate large amounts of money and other expensive goodies to viewers, Drizzy mocked one of the many lyrical jabs that K.Dot threw at him during their diss song battle earlier this year.
While gushing over his friendship with Sexyy Red, the 6 God joked: “When I see her, I see two bad ones, n-gga. What’s up? [laughs] Fuck what y’all talmbout.”
He was referencing the line from Kendrick’s “Euphoria” where he rapped: “When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches.”
Elsewhere, Drake surprisingly stopped himself from dissing the Compton rapper all over again while reading out an email from a fan hoping to secure free tickets and travel to his upcoming tour in Australia.
“In the beautiful land Down Under, it would be an unforgettable honeymoon filled with laughter, fun and, of course, the Drake charisma. And it’s always fuck Ken–,” he said, cutting himself off. “Oh, I am not reading that.”
Drake previously jabbed Kendrick Lamar during a separate stream with xQc, prompting a response from the Pulitzer Prize winner.
Sitting down with the Canadian streamer and gamer following the release of Kendrick’s GNX album, Drizzy told viewers: “I’m here — mind, body and soul fully intact, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out; fairytales won’t do it.”
His defiant statement seemingly referenced the salacious allegations on Kendrick’s diss songs, such as him being a pedophile, associating with other sex offenders and secretly fathering a daughter.
A text message from Kendrick’s close friend Reli that was shared online revealed his reaction to Drake’s comments.
“You done turned blood into a streamer on Phillies [laughing face emojis],” Reli texted K.Dot, who replied with several laughing face emojis of his own.
Reli then said: “That’s a damn shame,” to which Kendrick asked: “He trippin??!”
Reli wrote back: “Blood don’t won’t [sic] no smoke Philly gang,” before censoring his next message.
