The British comic star says he will spend the day in church punishing himself for being too naughty to date girlfriend Katy Perry – whose parents are Christian pastors.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, he joked: "I'm going to be in church, dressed in sackcloth, whipping myself on the back for being a bad boyfriend to a good Christian girl. I think I'll be in Britain.
"My Christmas is so traditional that I hang around in a stable worshipping a baby. I haven't got any brothers or sisters so I'll be with my mum, some of my mates, and I'll see my girlfriend and in-laws."
Russell, 34, and Katy, 25, spent yesterday afternoon (23.12.09) sledging on London's Hampstead Heath.
The loved-up pair – who have been dating for three months – made the most of the UK capital's snowy conditions and were seen laughing and joking as they raced down hills.
