Tracee Ellis Ross revealed that her mom, music icon Diana Ross, has a very simple Christmas wish this year.
“All my mom wants is to be around the kids, the grandkids, ” Ellis Ross told People. “That’s the thing.”
The “Black-ish” star admitted that her nieces and nephews will actually take center stage over the festive season.
“For my family, the kids are the priority,” Tracee said. “So I mean, it might as well be FAO Schwarz for Christmas morning. It’s insane.”
Tracee — whose immediate family includes sisters Rhonda Ross Kendrick and Chudney Ross, brothers Evan Ross and Ross Naess and three step-siblings — has already predicted how Christmas Day will unfold for her family.
“The kids wake up when it’s still dark, and nobody can go downstairs and you start hearing all the feet going around,” Tracee shared. “But gift-giving, I feel like the adults have just become chopped liver. It’s like, ‘Come on, it’s too many of us.'”
Meanwhile, Tracee previously explained that her mom always prioritized her kids over her career. Diana made it clear that her music career was “never more important than her children.”
“It was very clear to me that I was wanted before I got here,” Tracee told the Evening Standard. “To my siblings, too — and we’re a very bonded group still. That there was a space made in the world that she sort of cleaned off. Her intention was always for us to live our lives from her shoulders. My mom’s career was never more important than her children.”
