Take a page from Freddie Prinze Jr., who tells Us about his “traditionless Thanksgiving traditions”

Let's Talk Turkey!

No two Thanksgivings are alike at Freddie Prinze Jr.’s house. “There are no rules,” Butterball’s Ultimate Thanksgiving host tells Us. “I want people to feel like they can do what they want to do.” That means sometimes they’re a big formal group — “I did place cards one year” — and sometimes it’s come-as-you-are. Prinze’s wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, gets in on the ever-changing feast too: “She did Thanksgiving donuts one year,” Prinze says. “Powdered donuts with coffee as our dessert. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m not eating the pie.’ ”

That said, the actor and cookbook author, 43, does have tips that can be applied year after year. “Anything you can do the day before, do the day before,” he advises. “And get more wine than you think you need. You never want to run out of it at a family dinner — that’s just a rough night for everyone.”

How Therapy Saved His Life

After the MLB suspended Alex Rodriguez in 2013 for using performance-enhancing drugs, he decided to give therapy a try. “Twenty-five years ago, when I first started my career, it was a big no-no in the locker room, but I think today... it’s actually celebrated,” the former New York Yankees shortstop and third baseman, 50, told Us at the Nov. 3 premiere of his HBO docu-series, Alex vs ARod. Looking back, Rodriguez believes therapy made him not only a better baseball player but also a better father and friend. Rodriguez’s involvement in the league’s infamous Biogenesis scandal kept him off the field for the entire 2014 season. He went on to play two more years with the Yankees before retiring and going into sports broadcasting, but that's not to say he’s stopped keeping up with his old team. Rodriguez tells Us he believes the Bronx Bombers still have “potential” despite not having won a World Series since 2009.
