Brown recently told PEOPLE that she likes todecorate for Christmas very early— much to her fiancéJake Bongiovi’s dismay.
The actress also shared some of the holiday traditions that she’s passing on to Bongiovi, who is the 21-year-old son of Bon Jovi frontmanJon Bon Jovi.
“My tradition is, you have to open a gift, big or small, on Christmas Eve,” she told PEOPLE. “Jake didn’t do that. I introduced it to him and he kind of is still not on board with it, but I’m like, ‘You have to open it.’ And then he picks the biggest one and I’m like, ‘Of course you did.’ "

TheEnola Holmesstar said she also loves Christmas because it means getting to enjoy special moments with her family — and pausing to appreciate the blessings in her life.
“The holiday is about seeing family and spending time with your loved ones and being able to truly reflect and understand how grateful we are to live in a house that’s put together," she noted. “I just feel very, very grateful and lucky to be able to be under a roof with my family.”
