Prince William and Duchess to spend Christmas at home?

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince William and Duchess Catherine are reportedly planning to have Christmas at home this year.
The couple, who are both 34, are said to want to make the festive period a “close family occasion” for their two young children, three-year-old Prince George and Princess Charlotte, 19-months and so like the last two years, they will spend it at their Norfolk home, Amner Hall in East Anglia.
A source told Closer magazine: “since they had children, Catherine and Prince William have been slowly making a couple of changes each year.
“Catherine’s goal is to make Christmas more of a close family occasion and less of a formal one.”
And while George and Charlotte will be spoiled with gifts by friends and family, William recently said he wants to teach his children that it is the simpler things in life that are more important.
He recently said: “The materialism of the world I find tricky sometimes. I would like George and Charlotte to grow up being a little bit more simple in their approach and their outlook. I would like them to grow up with more simple aspirations.”
And Charlotte has already been given an early present by the
bodyguards at Kensington Palace.
They put their money together and decided to get a framed print, which starts off with the text, Princess Charlotte, The Day You Were Born and contains details about her birth including her weight and her birthstone, which is Taurus as Charlotte, 19-months, was born in May.
The unique gift, which cost around £55, was designed by Lucy Tapper and she received a letter of thanks from Charlotte’s parents, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – who also have three-year-old son Prince George – via their office
Lucy said: “It’s very exciting to know that our print will be hanging on Princess Charlotte’s nursery wall.
“We can’t quite say it’s by royal appointment but it is pretty close.
“We received an order from the security team at Kensington Palace for a Day You Were Born print as a gift for Princess Charlotte.
“We sent the print, along with a card and we received a letter of thanks from the office of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.”
