During a recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, she made her feelings clear, explaining why the Kelce household prefers to celebrate one holiday before moving on to the next. Kylie shared her thoughts during a recent episode of Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, where she made it clear that Halloween ending does not mean Christmas celebrations should begin immediately. “Don’t you dare put those Christmas trees out.

Instead, she wants families to enjoy Thanksgiving before turning their attention to Christmas. Once she puts her Christmas decorations up, she tends to leave them around for quite some time. Kylie shared a funny confession about one particular year when she forgot to take down the family’s Christmas stockings While explaining her habit. “One year I didn’t take the stockings off of the mantle until the following Christmas. Well, that was a confession I didn’t think was coming out in that rant,” she joked.

Kylie shares four daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finnley, with her husband, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce. Their family celebrations are not just about decorations or presents. They also involve traditions, familiar dishes and memories of the people they love. During an October conversation with PEOPLE, she explained that their childhood holiday gatherings were not always large family events. Instead, their tables included people they loved, whether they were relatives or friends who had become family. She now enjoys creating those same kinds of memories with her daughters, especially through food that has a special meaning. One example is cinnamon baked apples, which were her grandmother’s favorite. Wyatt was the only one of Kylie’s children who got to meet her great-grandmother. For Kylie, preparing the dish during family gatherings is a way to keep Mimi’s memory close. She explained that whenever the family talks about the apples, it gives them a reason to remember her and share stories about her with the younger girls. She also admitted that talking about a favourite food as a way of remembering someone might sound like a small thing, but it means a lot to her. “Every so often I say that out loud, I’m like, ‘I sound silly,’ but it really is a connection to her. It makes us talk about her. It makes us reference her, and it’s such a beautiful connection to have,” she shared. Kylie believes even something as simple as a favourite dish can help keep someone’s memory alive. It also gives children a chance to learn about family members they may not have had enough time to know. Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
