My Most Anticipated Christmas Special?

JENNIFER HUDSON

Former "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson is coming home to television for the holidays with a primetime music special slated to air on ABC.

"Jennifer Hudson: I'll Be Home for Christmas" will air in December and feature the singer-actress reliving her childhood holidays with musical performances filmed in locations specific to her youth: the Oscar winner's church, music academy and other Chicago locations.

Good Idea - Homemade Button Cards

Simple. Cute. Easy To Make.

Use old buttons to make some holiday cards to send to family and friends. Always a good idea to start making and writing your Christmas cards early! It's always tacky to receive a Christmas card in January...

Top 5 - Christmas Albums

1. Noel - Josh Groban

Josh Groban was made for Christmas music. Period. He sounds as natural belting classic Christmas carols as Britney singing about 3somes and seeking Amy. Number one, hands down.

2. A Rosie Christmas - Rosie O Donnell and Guests

Don't judge. Rosie singing can be a little hard the ear, but mixed with Cher, Celine Dion, Billy Joel, N'Sync, DONNY OSMOND, and even Elmo, there is nothing but fun Christmas cheer!

3. Broadway's Greatest Gift: Carols for a Cure Volumes 1-11- Various Broadway Casts

A delicious mix of soothing Christmas lullabies and some funky new mixes. Sung by some of the most talented Broadway casts, these albums also benefit a GREAT cause.

4. A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas - Kristin Chenoweth

What isn't there to love about a five foot nothing soprano. Broadway Superstar and recent Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth shines on this Schritsmas album. Love.

5. Merry Christmas With love - Clay Aiken

Again, don't judge. Aiken's vocals soar is some amazing Christmas ballads. Favourite: Mary Did You Know?
