Kate Hudson's Christmas Plans

Actress Kate Hudson has lots of plans for this Christmas - including, she says, handmade presents!

“We’ve always been pretty crafty anyway. We all knit. The girls knit. This year I’m doing these great big knit…well, actually I shouldn’t even talk about it because I can’t say it!”

Kate plans to spend the holidays in Colorado with her 4-year-old son, Ryder, who started skiing last year and has already graduated from the bunny hill. On his first day - at the very same ski school she attended as a child - Kate showed up to watch Ryder show off a bit - but he was nowhere to be found.

“I started panicking a little bit because I couldn’t see him anywhere. And the [instructor] came over and said, ‘Oh, actually, he’s up on the mountain.’ I’m standing there in my skis and I’m looking up and all of a sudden I see this little kid in camouflage and I’m like, ‘No!’” Hudson says. “He is just zooming down the mountain and I started to cry. I grew up skiing, and then you see your kids ski and there’s a freedom in it, a freedom in that that you recognize in them and a confidence that kids start to get when they do things like that. It was a big little moment.”

Still, Kate doesn't plan to let her son run too wild,

“Now he’s going to be terror,” she says. “So the helmet is on. I’m going to put like those rubber things on the bottom of his skis so that he doesn’t go too fast.”

Ryder's dad is Kate's ex-husband Chris Robinson.
