Oliver Hudson is celebrating the enduring Christmas traditions established by his stepfather, Kurt Russell. For Hudson, the holiday season is inextricably linked to their family ranch in Colorado, a tradition that began when Russell became part of their lives.
Hudson shared that Kurt Russell, whom he affectionately calls 'Pa,' has consistently ensured Christmas magic for the family. He recounted a specific memory of waking up to find evidence of Santa Claus's visit, including sled tracks and a bell, a scene recreated to instill belief in his own children.
This dedication to maintaining the enchantment of Christmas extends to keeping the belief alive for children up to 12 years old. The Hudson-Russell family continues these cherished customs, making each holiday season a special family affair.
