As she counts down the days until Christmas, Christie Hayes is excited for what’s to come. The star and her husband, Justin, are packing up her sons from a previous marriage, Hendrix, 10, and 9-year-old Harley, to celebrate the holidays in Canada.
“We are having a snowy Christmas this year,” the 38-year-old actress and radio host tells WHO about the family’s upcoming trip. “It’s been a dream of mine for so many years and I really want my boys to experience that magic of a white Christmas.”
Of course, while it is often referred to as the most wonderful time of the year, the festive season is anything but for many. For a country that is already grappling with a domestic violence crisis, the extra stress and financial pressures of this time of year are expected to lead to a sharp increase in incidents over the holidays.
Christie experienced just how dangerous the period can be during her teenage years after an earlier relationship turned violent one December.
