Yesterday, ABC aired a Christmas special called "Holiday With The Stars"- interviewing random celebrities about the holidays and their holiday traditions. Amazingly, they somehow managed to turn a holiday special into an excuse for them to gossip about Tom Brady & Giselle, Britney and crazy Paula Abdul (no, seriously).

However, the special did have a couple of fun parts- namely, when athletes took the cameras inside their homes to show how they decorated for Christmas. And lucky for us Red Sox fans, they went inside the home of Curt and Shonda Schilling. "We are a family of excess on the holidays", says Curt - but you can tell that doesn't extend to his diet and fitness regime this year, because already he looks like he's lost a ton of weight. Bravo, Curt!

We learn that the Schillings have more trees than people in their house (Curt says there are 19, but Shonda says it's more like 10... you know, just 10!). And each tree has a different theme - the fancy big tree in the main room, the family tree with pictures of the kids, little trees in each of the kids' rooms -- and best of all, a baseball tree. A BASEBALL TREE. This is genius, and I am ashamed I don't have a baseball tree in my house. The baseball tree also gives us the funniest exchange during the segment (which is saying something- because Curt is very sarcastically funny throughout):

Shonda: This is actually my favorite... how many people have the Curt Schilling Philadelphia Phillies ornament?

Curt: One - I'm gonna guess. One person has it... and it's us.

I'm also proud to see that even on a Christmas show, he gets in a dig at the Yankees, and works in a mention of the Sox' two World Championships. Well done, sir!
