Be like Rihanna and fill your home with tasty black Christmas decorations this year

This holiday season, we should always all take a leaf out of Rihanna’s book in relation to our seasonal decorating. Since giving birth to sons RZA (2) and Riot Rose (14 months), the Fenty mogul has been involved in all points of motherhood, including constructing family traditions.

“Motherhood, being a wife, just being a homebody – I love it,” Rihanna told E! News. “I love being a housewife. I just like (…) to celebrate different things. I’m trying to build new traditions for our little family that we’ve built ourselves… Christmas is a very, very important thing to us. So we will do it – all of it.”

Rihanna loves staying at home, that is how her partner and father of youngsters, A$AP Rocky, shared his appreciation of the star’s ability to create tastes. So much in order that the rapper claims he allows her to take control of their kid’s styling.

“I have no control over when my sons get dressed,” he said People Magazine. “Sometimes he dresses them like me in kilts and stuff, but that’s all we have, man. He has good style and taste.”

Recently in an interview with Getting to HollywoodRihanna teased what the vacations are like at her and A$AP Rocky’s house.

“All the characters are black,” she said. “Black Santas, Black Nutcrackers, Black Elves, and we’ll just make sure that (RZA and Riot Rose) continue to see themselves in whatever traditions we create.”
