"Sounds like the Spelling family had a very merry Christmas indeed.\r\nAfter years of estrangement and very public, often nasty sparring, Candy Spelling and daughter Tori spent Christmas 2009 together, ET reports -- in Beverly Hills, naturally.\r\n\r\nCandy, 64, and Tori, 36, made the yuletide gay for a Dec. 25 meal at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Joining them? Tori&amp;apos;s husband Dean McDermott, their children Liam and Stella, McDermott&amp;apos;s son Jack, plus Tori&amp;apos;s brother Randy Spelling and his girlfriend.\r\n\r\nAn eyewitness told ET that &amp;quot;several strangers stopped by their table to give the reunited family unit their well-wishes.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe once-feuding mother and daughter have been hinting of a reconciliation for the past month.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re together as a family, and that&amp;apos;s the most important thing,&amp;quot; Tori told E! News Dec. 17. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s just a blessing that [the reconciliation] happened around the holidays,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;And it just makes me think, &amp;apos;Wow, it&amp;apos;s an amazing thing and it happened this year and it&amp;apos;s just the best gift we could get.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nEarlier in the month, Candy told UsMagazine.com of their patched-up relationship, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m so happy. That&amp;apos;s all I want to say about this topic -- I&amp;apos;m happy.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
