Thank you for sharing this video. It's wonderful to see such tradition and familial happiness. Everyone wishes they had a mother like Janet. Following Khalid on social media is a pleasure. Merry Christmas y'all. 🎄🧑‍🎄☃️

Janet is the best! I’m so glad I ran across your tweet last year. Have followed ever since. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to y’all!

2022, the year of the viral tweet.

Love it! I still follow Khalid on twitter, and was surprised this is only an every other year event. I thought Khalid was going this year too? Nice that the married siblings share Christmas with the "other side" families though so perhaps since Khalid is single, (at this moment) he'll go every year! Just a lovely video.

I'll be home this year, yes. ☺ One of my sister's will join us just after Christmas, and the three of us all all home every other year.

One was informed of this and I’m so happy to see this. Also, the spread is awesome ❤
