Though Jinger has been honest about having a bit of a complicated relationship with her parents, that's not why she hasn't been home for Christmas in nearly a decade.
As she explained to Jeremy on the Dec. 22 episode of their Jinger and Jeremy Podcast, "The reason we haven't been back for Christmas Day is because that's the only time of year that your family is all together. And so throughout the years, we've decided, 'OK, that's going to be the time that we spend with Vuolo family over Christmas.'"
Instead, she would see her relatives during other events over the years, like her siblings' weddings.
"They're always together a lot," she noted. "So, it's easy for us just to pop back."
