Oliver Hudson, son of actress Goldie Hawn, recently shared heartwarming insights into the family’s Christmas traditions with his mother and her long-time partner, actor Kurt Russell. For over 40 years, the family has celebrated the holiday season in Aspen, Colorado.
Christmas in Aspen: A Family Tradition
The Hudson family enjoys a blend of cherished rituals and joyous gatherings. Every Christmas, they gather at their family home, known as Home Run Ranch, which Goldie describes as a “safe haven” filled with nostalgic furnishings.
Magical Moments for the Kids
Oliver explains some of their festive traditions, which include reading “The Night Before Christmas,” followed by a fun Santa appearance. “Merry Christmas to all, to all a good night,” he recalls. The children delight in the excitement, with Oliver noting, “the kids are losing their minds.”
Passing Down Traditions
Oliver is keen on keeping these joyful family traditions alive, especially for his three children with wife Erin: Wilder Brooks, Bodhi Hawn, and Rio Laura. He believes even teenagers can appreciate the light-hearted moments during the holidays, a tradition first initiated by Kurt Russell.
The Importance of Family Values
