Kendall Jenner takes her holiday decorating very seriously — and personally.
While giving a tour of her home to Architectural Digest in a video shared on Dec. 23, the 29-year-old shared how strongly her mom, Kris Jenner, influenced her seasonal decor.
In one living area, Kendall Jenner proudly showed off a stunning Christmas tree, pointing to nostalgic ornaments spread across the tall spruce.
“This I could get emotional talking about because this year for Christmas, my mom actually gifted me the original Christopher Radko Christmas ornaments that I grew up with for 29 years of my life,” Kendall Jenner shared.
She continued, “My mom’s had these since before I was born and I thought she had given them to another sister of mine, which I will not name names.”
When she thought the ornaments were gifted to another family member last year, Kendall Jenner explained that she got “really sad” and “had a breakdown” to her mom.
But to her surprise, Kendall Jenner found out they were indeed still in Kris Jenner’s possession.
“She actually didn’t give them to her and then this year surprised me,” she said of her mom gifting the ornaments to her. “They are the originals, so even this box is really special to me. This is the box they were originally packaged in.”
Kris Jenner is a mom to six children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian, whom she had with her late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, from her second marriage with her ex, Olympic medalist Caitlyn Jenner.
Kendall Jenner explained that most of her holiday decorations are hand-me-downs from Kris Jenner that encapsulate her “entire childhood.” The model said the way she decorated her home this time of year resembles her mother’s technique growing up.
“My mom is amazing at holiday,” she told AD. “She, my whole life, would just deck the house out for each and every holiday. So, I have to give her credit for kind of teaching me that.”
Kendall Jenner showed some of the details most important to her, including stockings that resembled the ones she grew up with, Hermes holiday plates gifted by her sister, a personalized gingerbread house featuring her beloved animals and a replica of a dollhouse that Kris Jenner had growing up.
In the dollhouse, which Kris Jenner had gifted her, she took AD through the customizations her mom picked out for the house, including shopping bags featuring her favorite brands, her dog, Pyro, and horseback riding gear.
“This is really, really special. This is probably one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever been given, especially on Christmas morning,” she explained.
