The Thores Celebrate Christmas: A Nostalgic Look Back with Whitney Way Thore
As families around the globe prepare to celebrate the Christmas season, Whitney Way Thore and her family from TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life are no exception. In the spirit of the holidays, Whitney decided to share a heartwarming glimpse into the Thore family’s cherished traditions.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
In a recent Instagram post, Whitney took fans on a nostalgic journey, showcasing what Christmas looked like for the Thore family decades ago. The family has certainly grown over the years, especially after Glenn’s long-lost daughter, Angie, made her debut in the latest season. Adding to the joy, Angie’s daughter, Jaime, is now expecting her own baby, making Whitney a great-aunt!
To celebrate these new family milestones, Whitney shared a delightful throwback video featuring a Christmas Eve from the year 2000. “Please enjoy a Thore family Christmas Eve from the year 2000, as I begin vlogging our first Christmas in our new house with our very new, VERY cutting-edge camcorder… heavy on the zoom button! 😂 And the next morning, Dad gets the most Dad gift ever—plus, check out the new iMac in the corner… what a time capsule!” she captioned the post.
In the video, a young Whitney gives viewers a tour of their home, beautifully adorned with festive decorations and multiple Christmas trees. Fans couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia, recalling their own holiday memories growing up.
Remembering Babs and Their Holiday Spirit
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their love for the footage, especially the moments featuring Babs, who sadly passed away in 2022. This Christmas will be the family’s second without her, and her absence is deeply felt.
Instagram users shared their sentiments:
- “Babs was the ultimate Christmas decorator! 😍”
- “How does Glenn look exactly the same in this 2000 video?!”
- “So many trees! Babs truly loved Christmas. I hope you have some of her decorations for your home.”
- “I have three big trees and decorations, but I aspire to decorate like Babs! 🙌❤️”
