Jackman's Christmas gift to family: himself!

Jackman's Christmas gift to family: himself!

Wolverine has claws for celebration.

"X-Men" star Hugh Jackman returned to his adopted home of New York City after a worldwide tour promoting his latest movie, "Les Miserables," just in time to celebrate Christmas with his family.

The 44-year-old Australian actor was photographed buying a Douglas Fir tree and carrying it back to his Manhattan apartment with one hand like a regular superhero - or at least a regular New Yorker.

Following closely behind were his 12-year-old son, Oscar, and seven-year-old daughter, Ava, who were walking the family’s French bulldog, Dali.

“In a way, it’s been a hard year,” Jackman told Parade magazine. “I was shooting in London for four or five months. We have a family rule that I’m never away for more than two weeks, so I did about nine trips back to [to New York.] And they did three trips to me.

“But for me it was quite a lonely time, and difficult.”

It isn’t all candy canes and holiday feasts, however, for Jackman. Hours before the family’s annual trip to Midnight Mass, he was photographed pumping iron at his local gym.
