Reese Witherspoon Puts Kids’ Comfort First

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and all that jazz. And Reese Witherspoon is preparing for the holidays just like the rest of us…except she has tons more money and can probably get a Wii Fit without batting an eye. Sometimes it's good to have connections.

Reese shares custody of her kids – Ava Elizabeth, 9, and Deacon Reese, 5 – with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. "I'm very lucky in that we raise our kids to just be happy," says Reese, 32. "I think the most important thing is the children. What do they want, what makes them feel comfortable?"

She and Reese still talk a lot, of course. She talked a little about her marriage, too. "I had a certain idea what I thought marriage gives, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way so you have to be open to whatever comes your way in life. Love and relationships take all kinds of shapes and it's not necessarily the ones you recognize."

Um, yeah. OK. That's a really long, convoluted way to say "shit happens."

Reese has a new movie coming out November 26th called "Four Christmases," which costars Vince Vaughn. I won't be seeing it because, well, it has Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn in it. Shut it. Did you SEE "Fred Claus?" "The Breakup?" He hasn't done anything decent since "Wedding Crashers."
