Kelsey Grammer is looking forward to celebrating the holidays with his seven children.
The 68-year-old actor, who recently starred in the Paramount+ revival of his iconic sitcom “Frasier,” shared his plans to spend Christmas at home with his family during an interview with Fox News Digital.
“We’re going to be in L.A. We always wrestle with – well, should we just travel? But then, honestly, home is home. And it’s nice to be home for Christmas and to celebrate and sit under the tree and have a fire and all the things we can still do,” Grammer said.
“It’s really lovely,” he continued. “We have a magnificent family. And it’s grown and grown throughout my years. You know, I’m up to seven kids and of all different ages. And it’s fantastic.”

“And if they can all be in the same room together and happy and smiling – nothing makes me happier. That’d be my Christmas present.”
“But, you know, we’ll see,” Grammer added with a laugh. “Some days that doesn’t work out so well. You know, because families are families. But that’s my dream.”
Grammer, who has been married four times, shares his eldest child, daughter Spencer Grammer, 40, with his first wife Doreen Alderman.
He is also father to daughter Greer Grammer, 31, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner.
The “Grand Isle” actor has daughter Mason Olivia, 22, and son Jude Gordon, 19, with his ex-wife Camille Grammer, 55. He married Kayte Walsh in 2011. Grammer and the U.K. native are parents to daughter Faith Evangeline, 11, and sons Kelsey Gabriel, 9, and Auden James, 7.
During his interview with Fox News Digital, Grammer also reflected on the importance of faith in his life, and how it has helped him overcome challenging times.
“That’s always been sort of a moving target,” the “Jesus Revolution” star explained. “What’s nice is I lost my faith for a long time. When I was younger. I got it back.”

He continued, “Because God doesn’t give up on you. Sometimes we close, and we just say, ‘I’m not listening. I’m not here for this.’ But then there He is. And that’s been my experience.”
“And I’ve been given great many, many things by virtue of the fact that there were other things more important to me. And the most important thing was a sense of faith.”
Grammer also shared his thoughts on returning to the role of therapist Dr. Frasier Crane after almost 20 years.
The five-time Emmy Award winner originated the role during his stint on “Cheers” from 1984 to 1993 and starred in the hit sitcom’s spinoff series “Frasier” for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004. He reprised the role in the Paramount+ “Frasier” revival, which aired its season finale earlier this month.
“I wanted to prove to myself and to other people, of course, that Frasier was still interesting and still watchable and still funny,” Grammer told Fox News Digital. “Those were important parts of it. But also, I thought there were more stories to tell about this character because there’s more stories to tell in our own lives.”
Grammer recalled that the massive ratings success of the 2018 “Roseanne” reboot led him to think it was time to bring “Frasier” back.

“Frasier certainly is as interesting as the Roseanne character or any number of other shows,” he said. “And I thought, ‘We can find a way for this to happen.’ And we had a sort of ripe field to harvest as we always thought it would be a reflection of the relationship between me and my father, between me and my son. So that was always going to bookend things. And that was the foundational principle we talked to other writers about.”
For the 10-episode revival, Grammer teamed up with showrunners Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris. In an October interview with The Wrap, Cristalli revealed that he set up a parody Twitter feed about getting a job as a writer for the sitcom called “Frasier for Hire.”

Cristalli recalled that his agent sent the Twitter feed along with a “Frasier” spec script that he wrote to Grammer’s producers, who initially rejected his idea for the revival. Cristalli later collaborated on a new “Frasier” pitch with former “How I Met Your Mother” showrunner Harris.
Cristalli told the outlet that Grammer and his producers chose their pitch after sifting through about 30 others.
“They have a kind of silliness that I liked,” Grammer told Fox News Digital of Cristalli and Harris. “I was even drawn to it more because I thought – because in the past we had a kind of sense of how important we were and stuff. I thought, ‘You know, maybe we maybe don’t need to be so important. Maybe we just need to be kind of fun.’ And I think that… we’ve achieved that.
The actor said he also wanted to dispel the idea that viewers wouldn’t be interested in a “Frasier” revival or that fans wouldn’t embrace it due to their love for the original series.

“A lot of people think it’s an untouchable show,” he explained. “There’s a lot of sentiment from some of the past players. You know, it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a jewel. It should be left alone. You can’t touch it.’ And I don’t think anything is that precious. I just don’t, because I mean, it’s like, ‘Come on.’ He’s a living, breathing character. He’s gone another 20 years. He might be interesting to catch up to. Let’s have a look into his life and see.”
Grammer continued, “And sure enough, he is kind of interesting and fun and still trying because he’s still trying. He’s in it with his whole heart. And that’s how he’s always been.

“I think the audience is always sort of behind the guy that sticks to it, you know?”
Though a second season of the “Frasier” revival has yet to be green-lit, Grammer said that he would be on board to return.
“We’re just kicking it around now,” he said. “I have an idea of what I’d like to do, but we’ll get into stories as soon as somebody says, ‘Please, let’s do some more.'”
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but sometimes it’s also the most stressful.
Cooking the perfect meal, neatly wrapping presents, and traveling are all stressful parts of Christmas that could quickly turn you into a Grinch.
Avoid these common Christmas catastrophes to keep your spirits merry and bright this holiday.
If you have late additions to your shopping list, it’s possible they may not make it to your doorstep before Christmas Day.
If time got away from you and you still have people to shop for in the days before Christmas, it’s best to do your shopping in person.
Although you likely won’t be able to escape the long lines associated with last-minute shoppers, visiting a store may be the only way you’ll get your gifts on time.
SAY GOODBYE TO THESE HABITS HOLDING YOU BACK IN 2023
Shopping early in the morning before the rush may help you somewhat avoid long wait lines.
While you should buy your gifts in person to ensure you’ll have them on time, browse online first before going in person.
That way, you know exactly what you’re looking for when you arrive.
Many stores have pickup options, where you can buy online and go in the store to pick up your order, although there are often lines for this buying option, too.
If you absolutely have to order online, Amazon is a pretty reliable place to do so. Prime members receive free two-day shipping, so you won’t have to pay tons out of pocket for overnight shipping.

From the outside, the turkey being served looks perfect, but when it’s cut into, it’s completely dried out.
“I told you we put it in too early,” says Catherine, the cook of the dry turkey.
Maybe your catastrophe won’t be quite as extreme, but it’s a common mistake to not time dishes correctly and end up with cold food by the time everything is complete.
Another common catastrophe is realizing you don’t have the right ingredients before you begin to cook.

Don’t worry, there are simple solutions to these problems.
To avoid a dinner disaster, consider doing a practice run before the main meal. In the week leading up to Christmas, pick a day when you can do a trial run of your meal. Hopefully, any mistakes will be fixed then instead of on Dec. 25.
Have plenty of timers ready, and don’t forget what timer is designated for what food.
If you are using timers on your phone, label them, so you know which is which.
RISING THREAT OF PORCH PIRACY: WHAT TO KNOW AS PACKAGE THEFTS SURGE AMID HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON
When you have your final menu established, write everything down and all the ingredients you will need for each one. Don’t rely on your memory alone to remember everything.
Take one grocery trip with your list in hand and cross out each item as you get it. That way, you won’t run into issues on Christmas Day with forgotten ingredients.
It can be a little awkward for you and your guests if there aren’t enough seats for everyone at your table.
Name tags are an easy solution to this problem. Create festive name tags to place at each person’s seat. This will ensure that no one is accidentally left out of the arrangements.

Wrapping gifts can be a hassle. It’s even more of a hassle when you realize halfway through wrapping that you don’t have enough paper.
The first solution to this is to always buy more than you think you need. Don’t go overboard but always buy at least one more roll than you think you’ll use.

Any extra wrapping paper you have, save for next year. Keep a storage box filled with extra wrapping paper, bags, bows, tissue paper, name tags, etc. That way, if you ever run out, you know you have extra set aside and don’t have to rush to the store to buy more.
Nothing is more awkward than handing a person a gift, watching them open the gift, and then realizing it wasn’t meant for them.
Even if you dedicate different wrapping paper to each person, you may still forget whose is whose.
Name tags will help you organize everyone’s gifts and avoid guessing on Christmas Day.
You can purchase stickers that go directly on the wrapped present or tags that can be tied to bags to write each person’s name on.
You can also take a small piece of wrapping paper, fold it in half and write the recipient’s name on the inside, if you don’t have any tags at your disposal.
If you are traveling to a loved one’s house for Christmas, it’s a common holiday problem to forget all your gifts you were so excited about giving at home.
Avoid this by putting all the gifts that need to go with you in a laundry basket right by your door.
You’ll see the gifts on your way out, and they’ll be easy to transfer into your car.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
This Old Testament Bible verse foretells Christ’s birth and mission as delivered by the prophet Isaiah, whose ministry spanned 60 years, according to Israelmyglory.org.
One North Carolina-based ministry leader today says he is “fascinated” by Old Testament prophecies, noting that there are “hundreds of them.”
The prophets “pronounced their prophecies approximately 700 years before the child we celebrate at Christmas was born in human form in the little town of Bethlehem,” Judge Phil Ginn, president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, told Fox News Digital via email.
“Here’s the striking part,” Ginn continued. “The Jesus we know and worship as Christ-followers fulfilled all of the prophecies that speak of his first coming over 2,000 years ago.”
Ginn also said that the scientific and statistical prospects for this occurring are “quite staggering.”
“Mathematician Peter Stoner [used] the science of probabilities and determined that if Jesus fulfilled only eight of the Messianic prophecies, it is equivalent to the probability of one in 10 — followed by 17 zeros,” Ginn continued.
He said that, according to Stoner, “that many silver dollars” would “cover the entire state of Texas 2 coins deep.”
He continued, “Then, if you marked one of the dollars, stirred the whole mess and asked a blind man to find the one that was marked, you could begin to understand the unique standing of Jesus as the promised Messiah of both Israel and the entire world as well.”
Maybe it is time we “followed the science” as we celebrate Jesus’ human birth, he added.
“Isaiah reminds us that another name for our Messiah will be the Prince of Peace,” Ginn also said.
While we pray, “especially at Christmastime for peace on earth,” there will “be no peace until Christ is on his earthly throne,” Ginn continued.

“So, while we look forward each year to our celebration of Christmas, the true followers of Christ anxiously look forward to his coming again,” he underscored.
“The Bible tells us that one day the eastern sky will explode with the glory of our new king,” Ginn also said.
“It is that same Bible which so accurately foretold of the first coming of the Christ child so many years ago,” he continued.

“The prophecies of his second advent into the earthly sphere are being fulfilled before our eyes every day,” he said, “so, just maybe, we should be looking forward to that great event while we celebrate his Nativity this Christmas.”
He added, “Even so, come Lord Jesus!”‘

Candace Cameron Bure is in the holiday spirit, and the actress wants to put Christianity back in the Christmas movies that she stars in.
“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” the “Fuller House” star told the Wall Street Journal of the new network she joined earlier this year.
Bure departed the Hallmark Channel in April. She had worked with the popular network for over a decade, previously starring in 10 holiday movies and 30 films overall for Hallmark’s Crown Media.
“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” she told the outlet. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”
