CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The star of "Alias" is happy to be home for the holidays. Jennifer Garner (news) is spending the Christmas season away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and in the town where she was raised. This year, she brought a new family member — her 7-month-old Labrador retriever named Martha Stewart (news - web sites).

"I spend all year waiting to come home," Garner said in an interview with WCHS-TV in Charleston. "I can't wait to go to (a Charleston bookstore) and have my first latte. ... I was raised by the community. I still feel very loved. It's so comforting to be home. I feel like I could come home and sit in a hundred different laps and be taken care of."
Garner, who gained fame as Agent Sydney Bristow on the ABC television series, was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress in a drama. She won her first Golden Globe in 2002.
The awards gala is Jan. 11 in Palm Springs, Calif.
Garner, 31, said she never wanted to be a star.
"I wanted to be a doctor, a librarian. ... (Acting) wasn't possible to me," she said. "The more I learned what there was to learn about this field, the more hungry I became for it. It comes out of wanting to learn more, as opposed to `I want to be a star.' I never felt that way."
Garner was born in Texas but moved to Charleston and graduated from George Washington High School in 1990.
