EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Trump's Christmas Celebration

“Donald Trump Jr. & his family gave us an exclusive peek inside their Christmas plans for Page Six Magazine’s 12/21 cover,” Margi Conklin, editor of Page Six Magazine, shares exclusively with CoverAwards.

“It’s nice to know that even among the city’s richest families, some traditions are universal: cheesy decorations, disputes over music, and a dish no-one can stand, but for some reason gets made every year,” adds Conklin.

Donald Jr. said: “As you get older I think you tend to become your parents. When I was a kid I was like, I’m going to do all [the Christmas traditions] differently. Now I’m like, wait a second—I actually want to do it exactly the same.”

In this week’s Page Six Magazine – his family defined the modern age of over-the-top New York City excess.  But when Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa, do the holidays in their own home, it’s a cozy affair full of laughter and mischief.  The pair celebrate the season with Page Six Magazine and dish about how the Donald spends December 25, their least favorite family traditions and what will be under the tree this year.

Donald Jr. on his Christmases as a child:

“When I was little, as unconventional as my family is, I don’t know that our Christmas was that different other than [the fact] that we were on the top of Trump Tower.  We’d run downstairs and jump into our parents’ bed, just like everyone else.  Then we’d go over to our grandparents’ place in Queens and do lunch.”

Donald Jr. on how his father, Donald Trump, likes to celebrate Christmas:

“He’s a blue-collar guy with a big balance sheet.  He wants a burger, he wants to eat his turkey and bacon—he doesn’t want to have soufflés.  He grew up in Queens and while he may have the fancier side of his life, when it comes down to it, he just wants to watch football on the holidays.”

Donald Jr. on re-gifting presents:

“Look, I’ve been re-gifted presents that I’ve given my family.  You know, they’re like, ‘Oh, great, thanks!’ and then you end up getting it back the next year.  It’s like, ‘You know I gave you this to you last year right?’ And they’re like, ‘No, it’s a different one!’”

Donald Jr. on his desire to instill charity in his children:

“Vanessa and I both grew up with the understanding that we were incredibly fortunate to be in the positions that we were in.  I think we’ve got to try to instill that in the generations to come.”
