After a very eventful 2008, Katrina had agreat time with her family while holidaying in London. Her sister Isabella who is studying in a New York acting school had also flown down to London.

A close pal of Katrina revealed to us, "It was sort of a family reunion for Katrina as she was meeting all her sisters after almost 6 to 7 months.

Katrina considers Christmas very special and she was happy this time that she got to enjoy it with her mom and her cousin sister Christina.

She even stayed at her cousin's house for sometime. Katrina was really missing Christina's baby and is glad she has finally met her niece. But though she was having a great time in London, she also missed being in Mumbai and her special 'someone' Salman.

She felt very bad about not attending his birthday party but she called him to wish him"

"Katrina is a shopping freak and really enjoyed her shopping trips. She was pleasantly surprised by the crowd's overwhelming response to her when she arrived at Heathrow airport. London is really special to her as her family is there; she started her modeling career in the city and shot for her hit film Namastey London in the city."

Katrina had last gone to London in March, 2008 for the Lux Zee Cine Awards for just one day. This is the longest holiday she has taken in a while.

She is expectedo return in mid-January and will start shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi's film Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahaani in Mumbai when she returns. She was shooting with Akshay Kumar for Priyadarshan's comic caper De Dhana Dhan before she went to London.
