TOP & SHORTS: BONITA COLLECTIVE. SHOES: GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI
There’s excitement in the air as Caprice Bourret invites HELLO! into the extraordinary grade IIlisted London home she shares with her husband Ty Comfort and their young sons Jett and Jax, who’ve just finished putting up their spectacular Christmas decorations.
“This is our favourite time of year,” says the proud mum in this exclusive interview, as her boisterous boys – who, at nine years old, are more grown up than ever since starring in our last photoshoot – clamber over her.
“Coming from a Jewish family I’ve never been big on Christmas decorations. But now that the boys are so into this festive time of year, I’ve become obsessed.
“To the sound of Christmas songs, we’ve put glitter, sparkle and twinkling lights everywhere. Jax and Jett loved helping, especially when it came to dressing our red-andgold themed tree. It’s all about the magic of Christmas and Hanukkah for them.”
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
To celebrate the Jewish festival in the run-up to 25 December, they say a prayer in Hebrew, light the menorah candles and open a gift.
“It’s a lovely tradition and the boys know that prayer off by heart,” says Caprice. “They’re lucky to have the best of both worlds – and with eight days of pressies followed by Christmas Day, they get spoilt.”
However, the 51-year-old entrepreneur is also teaching her lively youngsters about the importance of giving to people in need and of kindness. In addition to their presents under the tree, a pile of gifts for hospitals, children’s charities and youngsters in the local community is waiting to be wrapped.
