Jackson Family To Celebrate Christmas

The Jackson's were all brought up as Jehovah's Witnesses. Although a Christian - based religion, Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays or Christmas.

Michael, however, enjoyed celebrating the holiday season, especially with his children.

Michael's mother, Katherine, now has full custody of the children and has determined to put aside their former tradition and to keep the children's lives as normal as possible. And part of that is to celebrate the Christmas holiday with them.

La Toya has said "We grew up as Jehovah's Witnesses and so didn't celebrate Christmas. But I thinkit's very important that Michael's children celebrate it, because that's what he did with them. I want them to continue to have that. I've spoken to my mother about christmas and she said she will be celebrating."
