Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban to celebrate Christmas Down Under

Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban will be celebrating Christmas in Australia.

Country music singer Urban arrived in Melbourne for Australian shows but Kidman remained overseas promoting her new film Nine.

However, the actress will be back for Christmas when they will host family at their Southern Highlands mansion.

"She was meant to be here but this is one of the crazy, unforeseen things we didn't plan on," the Daily Telegraph quoted Urban as saying.

"Her film commitments for Nine have clashed with my tour of Australia, so we're working at the same time . . . she's home for Christmas," he added.
