Al Roker is feeling good this holiday season thanks to his adult children.

The Today show weather anchor, 68, revealed on the NBC morning show what his favorite family tradition with his wife, Deborah Roberts, 62, and their children — daughter Leila, 24, and son Nick, 20.

"My favorite family tradition is not everybody fighting. That's a great thing," he said. "If that happens — you can get your adult children together and their significant others and everything is fine? Win-win."

Roker, who is home recovering from ongoing health issues, added that he's even more excited to not have young children that require him to search the stores for the latest toys or wake up early on Chirstmas day.

"My kids — look, it's different now that they're older," Roker said. "Holiday shopping becomes much simpler. They're not looking for the hot toy or anything like that."

He even boasted that he's no longer "getting up at 6 a.m. in the morning because the little ones are up."

"Now it's, 'Oh, we'll get up around 9 o'clock.' And that's just great," Roker said.

Last week, Roker also appeared virtually on the Today show and gave his colleagues an update on his ongoing recovery. He called into the program from his kitchen after returning to the hospital, where he spent 4 weeks being treated for blood clots in his legs and lungs.

I just feel like, it's going to be a little bit of a slog but a lot of people have to deal with a lot more with a lot fewer resources," he said. "I'm very fortune, very blessed to be able to have these resources."
