Phillip Phillips Talks Christmas In Georgia & Going “Home” For The Holidays – The All-Star Christmas is based on the Holidays, so what was Christmas like at the Phillips house? “It was awesome, I always had good home food and opened up presents,” he said. “Santa Claus is coming to town.” His favorite gift as a kid was a Power Wheel– or “P-p-p-Power Wheel” as he called it.
