Despite landing himself in hot water this time last year, when he was charged with domestic violence after an incident with his then wife, he has apparently chosen not to embrace the family side of the holidays.
It comes just weeks after his disastrous night partying with porn star Capri Anderson hit the headlines and led to a criminal complaint against him.
According to US reports, the Two and a Half Men star missed various family events over the last week.
'He first skipped going to his brother Emilio's, didn't show up at Denise Richard's house and also skipped seeing his daughter Cassandra,' a source close to the family reportedly told RadarOnline.com.
'He is back partying again,' the source added. 'Although it's tough to say he's 'back' partying - he never really quit!
'He's been having a great time partying like crazy for the past several weeks.”
