‘Jersey Shore’ star Deena Cortese ready for her New Year’s baby

Deena Cortese is ready to celebrate the new year as a new mom.

“Honestly, I don’t care about gifts, I just want to spend time with my family,” the “Jersey Shore” star said of her holiday wish list. “My best gift will be my son, [who is] due on the 30th.”

Cortese, 31, who is expecting her first child with husband Chris Buckner, also said that while she isn’t a fan of New Year’s resolutions, she may make an exception.

“I don’t usually make new year’s resolutions, but I guess since I’ll just be giving birth to my son right before the new year, maybe losing baby weight,” she explained.

Until then, Cortese will ready for her new arrival — as well as the holiday season — with family and friends.

“My favorite holiday memory was decorating our family home with my mom and dad every year outside,” she said of her father, who passed away in 2016. “My dad was Mr. Christmas. He’d win awards for his Christmas decorations.”
