Bonnie Hunt surprised 11-year-old actress Madison Pettis with an early Christmas present in the form of her brother, an army soldier fresh back from deployment to Iraq.

Pettis told Hunt that big brother Stephen had just returned home after serving a year overseas, but that she hadn't yet seen him because she was busy filming the upcoming movie 'The Search for Santa Paws' in Canada. Pettis' brother then walked onstage and presented the shocked young actress with a teddy bear.

Sunday night, ABC closed their day of events with an all-star party, which was held at the same ballroom where lunch was served (kudos to the party planners to making the place more party-like instead of like a rubber-chicken dinner). Here's what I learned there.

When you're at a party or an event, the presence of a few celebrities will get noticed. But at something like this, where 100 people from various ABC, ABC Family and Disney Channel shows were present, everyone just blends and hangs out like normal people. Well, that's not entirely true. The celebs -- many of whom were dressed in their party finest -- talked to each other, and the critics -- many wearing the same business-casual garb they wore during the day -- talked to each other. When the worlds collided, it was usually when a critic tried to formally interview one of the celebrities, which was impossible given the crowd noise and the loud music.
