Khloe Kardashian had a very "different" Christmas this year after experiencing a "really scary" few days with her two children True and Tatum.
While the Kardashian/Jenner family usually throw a huge Christmas Eve bash, this year they opted for a low-key gathering at Kendall Jenner's lavish home.
However, Khloe was unable to be there to spend time with her large family because True, six, and Taum, two, were "super sick".
Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday, Khloe wished all her followers a merry Christmas before explaining why her annual plans were disrupted.
"I hope everyone had a great, great Christmas. It was a great one, for sure. I just love holidays and Christmas, but different – I didn't get to make it to the Christmas Eve party, which was a bummer.
"It wasn't really a party this year, it was just us hanging out at Kendall's house, but still, I missed being with my family, but Tatum was super sick the weekend before, but now he's perfect and great for Christmas Eve and all that."

"Yesterday we still all just hung out at my mom's, [True] was sleeping in another room while I was cooking breakfast and all that because we still wanted to be around the Christmas spirit."

"We're just doing Santa toys today 'cos she just wasn't in the mood yesterday, poor thing. That's when you know your kid is sick when Santa toys don't even excite them – but I'm so happy she's feeling better.

But I love you guys, and I hope you have a beautiful time between that dead time between Christmas and New Year's – it's my favorite time, the dead time of the year, which I love."
Khloe then added another clip to her Story to correct her choice of words, saying: "I actually don't like that I said the 'dead time' of the year – I want to change that to the slow time, that did not sound good.

Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party
Kim Kardashian previously revealed that instead of the family's typical lavish Christmas Eve get-together with a star-studded guestlist, they will have something "really low-key" for 2024.

She told Vogue that the family has thrown "some legendary Christmas Eve parties," teasing that "they're just the beginning".
"Our kids love them and now all their friends want to come," she added. "It's such a fun tradition."
