Tom Cruise looks forward to Christmas morning every holiday season - because his whole family gathers in the kitchen to cook breakfast.

The Top Gun star admits it's not the presents under the tree that excite him on Christmas morning, as he much prefers the Cruise tradition of preparing a meal as a family.

He says, "The family gets together and cooks breakfast, and everyone pitches in... I'm no slouch. I'm not a gourmet chef, but I can whip up some eggs. (We're) gonna chill. We like taking those times. We really just all hang together and play games. We're all just going to have a really nice, quiet time."
