Kendall Jenner was left emotional after discovering her mom, Kris, had given her cherished childhood ornaments to one of her sisters—but a heartfelt surprise quickly turned things around.
Holiday decorating holds a special place in the Kardashian-Jenner family, and Kendall Jenner recently opened up about how much it means to her.
During a festive house tour with *Architectural Digest*, the 29-year-old model revealed she was heartbroken after believing her mom, Kris Jenner, had handed over the family’s treasured Christopher Radko ornaments to one of her sisters.
“This is something I could actually get emotional about,” Kendall shared. “My mom has had these ornaments since before I was born. When I thought she gave them to another sister—who shall remain nameless—I got really upset and even broke down over it.”
Luckily, Kendall’s fears were unfounded. “It turned out she didn’t give them away, and this year, she surprised me with them,” Kendall said, visibly touched by the gesture.
The ornaments, which Kendall cherishes deeply, include beautifully crafted blown-glass designs of log cabins, Santas, and snowmen. She even proudly displays the vintage box they came in at the base of her Christmas tree, adding a nostalgic touch to her holiday décor.
«I’m constantly seeking vintage inspiration,» Kendall shares about her holiday decorating approach. «This year, Martha Stewart has been a major influence on my mood boards.»
To bring her nostalgic vision to life, Kendall collaborated with floral designer and longtime family friend Jeff Leatham, affectionately calling him her «Christmas angel.» Pointing to a Santa statue tucked into the corner of her living room, she says, «Most of the decorations in this house are hand-me-downs from my mom.
Nearly everything here is something I grew up with.»
Above the cozy fireplace hang stockings that hold a special meaning for Kendall. «These are almost identical to the ones my mom had during her childhood,» she explains.
«She still has the originals, and we use them every year. I don’t keep those—they’re hers—but I have these here as a nod to the nostalgia and tradition.»
