Justin Theroux and his bride-to-be/America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston, hosted a star-studded holiday party at their Beverly Hills home last Saturday. There was some speculation the event was an engagement party, but sources are now confirming it was simply Aniston’s annual holiday party.
The guest list included Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer, Portia DeRossi, Ellen de Generes, Demi Moore and many of Aniston’s staff. While the party included some of Hollywood’s hottest A-listers, the event itself was reportedly a relaxed and low-key affair.
Partygoers arrived around 6pm in casual attire, many with their kids in tow. While the adults chatted, sipped age-appropriate beverages and listened to the DJ, the little ones played games and colored. While Aniston has no children of her own, she always makes an effort to welcome her friends’ tots into her home.
Aniston’s holiday party is an annual tradition for her closest celeb friends, along with her hard-working employees. People reports that Aniston is very generous and thoughtful with gifts to those she employs. The former “Friends” star doesn’t have a Christmas list of her own, and instead asked for guests to donate to a charity in lieu of personal holiday presents.
Reportedly, Aniston also puts a great deal of effort into making the party fabulous and family friendly – including hand-selecting the tree. This year she and Justin chose a 10-foot noble fir from Mr. Greentrees in Beverly Hills, which bills itself as having “The World’s Finest Christmas Trees.” It sure is refreshing to hear that such a high-profile celebrity still takes the time to thank her staff and personally contribute to her holiday party, when most celebs of her status would simply hire someone to do all the hard work.
Jennifer and Justin continue proving to Santa they’ve been good celebrities this year, and are only getting better. The duo will certainly be at the top of the jolly man’s “nice” list this Christmas – but they will probably donate any gifts from Santa to charity! Nicerazzi sends its best wishes to Jennifer and Justin and their upcoming nuptials, keep up the good work you two!
