Caitlyn Jenner Will Celebrate Christmas With the Kardashians

— -- Caitlyn Jenner will spend Christmas with the Kardashians this year.
"She’s still part of our family," Khloe Kardashian told Ellen DeGeneres Show_" target="_blank">"The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today. "It's still our Dad, we say, which I know is confusing to some people, but that’s how we know her. And she's not gonna be with us on Thanksgiving because she’s working, but she’ll be with us for Christmas, for sure."
Kardashian also opened up to DeGeneres about why she initially struggled with her stepfather's transition from Bruce to Caitlyn.
"I found out on camera, like while we were filming and I felt like we kept asking him, Bruce, like, 'What’s going on, we’re hearing all these rumors.' And he kept telling us one thing, but really he knew he was transitioning and wouldn’t be honest with us," Kardashian told DeGeneres. "Now I’m fully okay with it, but I think the biggest part for me was understanding that Bruce is totally separate than Caitlyn. And he liked to tell us that, 'Oh I’m always going to be Bruce. I’ll always be your Dad, I’m just gonna be...' and I think he meant that. I don’t think Bruce knew fully that when he would be Caitlyn."
Kardashian said she had to let go of the man who raised her since she was five.
"I’m sure he probably hoped maybe glimmers of Bruce would be there," she said. "But if your soul really wanted to be a female this whole time, I can’t expect that. So now that we know that he’s Caitlyn not Bruce, they’re two separate people, and [we can] kind of mourn the loss of Bruce, now I’m fine with everything."
