Model Caroline Trentini chimed in, "How delicious," while Brazilian journalist Geraldo Luis wrote, "This state is a beautiful 'country' to see and feel. Beautiful and gentle people. Only good energy for the soul we receive. Happy Gisele day."

"It'll be a new experience that I've never had before that I'm gonna learn how to deal with," Tom shared on the Dec. 19 episode of his SiriusXM podcast Let's Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray. "And I think that's what life's about…I'm gonna learn how to deal with Christmas Eve in a hotel, and I'm gonna have to learn how to deal with Christmas and Christmas night and still go out there and be a professional, and then look forward to celebrating Christmas with my kids the day after."
