Why Daughter Suri Cruise Makes Katie Holmes Panic Katie Holmes is getting ready for Christmas and the actress revealed what her 8-year-old daughter Suri wants as a present for the holidays. Looks like a puppy is coming to the Holmes household! "She already has her Christmas list ready," Holmes told Ellen DeGeneres on her show on Monday. She's very organized ... I start to get a little bit of a panic because you cannon screw up talking to Santa. The "Miss Meadows" actress, 35, continued, "You cannot miss any item on that list because if you screw that up, that's years and years of hearing about it and then probably therapy." Holmes said Suri is "practical," but definitely knows what she wants. Like, 'I want a puppy, then I want a pink collar that has sparkles on it that says the puppy's name. Then I want shoes for the dog,'" she said. It's all very detailed.
