’Tis the season to PAMPER!

Although actor Kareena Kapoor won’t be celebrating Christmas on a grand scale this year, the hottie reveals that it’s still a very special day

For actor Kareena Kapoor, Christmas had taken on a new meaning ever since she had become aunt to her sister Karisma Kapoor’s daughter Samaira. “Till then I was the youngest in the family and so naturally the one getting the maximum gifts. But after Samaira and Kiaan, I have turned Santa for them and now I’m the one spoiling them silly with all the gifts,” says the doting aunt who reveals that she just can’t stop pampering the two on Christmas especially. The actor who has some very fond memories associated with the day, reveals that from attending the midnight mass on Christmas eve to helping mum prepare the special lunch, the house is abuzz with excitement during this time. “We even put up a Christmas tree and decorate it with lights and the trinkets,” she says. “Kiaan is too young to help, but Samaaira is real good at it,” she says proudly about her niece. And though this time around, it will be a quiet Christmas for the actor, who is currently travelling, apparently already in Switzerland with beau, actor Saif Ali Khan, where she’s also planning to bring in the New Year, the actor shares that the day continues to be just as special. Post the demise of Saif’s father former cricketer Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, the two are apparently just spending time with each other and dropping all celebrations. “We are not exactly celebrating it in a very lavish way this year, but I make it a point to visit the church to attend the mass no matter where I am,” she says. She is however quick to add that it’s not for religious, but spiritual purpose. “It’s somehow very beautiful and the positivity around is amazing. You actually feel like taking in all the warmth around,” shares Kareena. She may not be spending the day with family this time around, but says that Saif has immense respect for her beliefs. Talking about her annual Swiss vacation she says that she cherishes the two weeks vacation more than anything else. “It’s been a rather eventful year for both of us. Now we just want to give each other some time. Taking this break with Saif is what keeps me going all through the year,” shares the actor who recently also finished the first schedule of her film Heroine.
