Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed the stark differences between her and her husband Brad Falchuk’s views on the holiday season.

The 53-year-old actress described Falchuk as a “Grinch” regarding holiday festivities, confessing that his attitude makes her feel “alone” because she adores Christmas.

“My husband is somewhat of a Grinch, so he’s the opposite of me,” she remarked on her “Goop” podcast. “I love the decorations and the Frank Sinatra Christmas album. I fully embrace the holiday spirit.”

Paltrow added, “Brad is the worst when it comes to holidays. He can’t stand Christmas music, decorations, or even roast turkey—he dislikes the entire traditional dinner.”

When asked if there’s anything Falchuk, co-creator of “Glee,” enjoys about the holidays, she candidly said, “He just looks forward to it being over.”

However, the Oscar-winning actress said their children share her enthusiasm for the festive season.

Paltrow shares two children with her ex-husband, British rock star Chris Martin: daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses. 19. She’s also a stepmom to Falchuk’s two kids from his previous marriage to Suzanne Bukinik: daughter Isabella, 21, and son Brody, 18.

‘”I feel very alone in my house in my love for Christmas, although all the kids love it, so they’re on my side,” she said.

Paltrow noted that her and her children always spend the holidays together.

“We do Christmas and Hanukkah,” she shared. “We have a really fun Christmas morning. We usually take a long time to open presents and then have a long walk on the beach and, you know, eat and stay in pajamas.”

The “Shakespeare in Love” star also shared that although she’s no longer married to Martin, she and her kids still celebrate Boxing Day — a UK holiday on Dec. 26.

“We also do kind of Boxing Day, which is a holdover from our days in the UK, where we just, you know, have another day of like, glorious gluttony and total relaxation and board games and stuff like that,” she said.

Back in September, Paltrow revealed a regret she had about her relationship with Falchuk, 54 — not living together during their first year of marriage for the sake of their children.

“I think at the time, we really felt like we were doing the right thing,” she said. “We were trying to kind of land the plane very, very gently and slowly and get everybody on board.”

“But I’m not sure that it didn’t just prolong that thing of like, we don’t know what we’re doing,” she continued.

Falchuk agreed, noting their decision gave their children too much power.

“I think them having agency is really important,” he reflected. “But power, to actually keep these two adults from living together? I think it made them more uncomfortable and more like, ‘OK, this is not something that is solid.’”
