Kelly Clarkson’s busy Christmas

Kelly Clarkson has a really busy Christmas ahead.

The 34-year-old singer – who has River Rose, two, and seven-month-old Remington Alexander with her husband Brandon Blackstock – won’t be getting any time to relax this holiday period as they have a lot of relatives to see.

She said: "We are a very American family in the sense that there are a lot of different families going on, and having to visit this family and this family and this family. We have a very full schedule of family fun to make sure we get everyone in there and see everyone and our kids, because it is important."

And the ‘Because of You’ hitmaker won’t be spoiling her younger child with presents too much as he’s not that aware of what is going on at the moment.

She added to Entertainment Tonight: "It is such second child syndrome, y’all but I learned from River last Christmas she doesn’t know what is going on.

"I have a couple things for him, but really he is 7 months old, he doesn’t even do anything yet. This is the first Christmas [River] is going to get it."

Meanwhile, Kelly previously confessed she thinks about giving up her singing career "all the time".

She said: "I was in a very dark place for a long time. It’s just so hard to have normalcy. I love to sing, and I love to talk to people at meet and greets.

"It’s just all the c**p that comes along with this job … I don’t love traveling, because I’m never home. It’s hard when you have a family."

Asked if she would consider giving it up, she added: "Oh, all the time. I mean, I’m always going to be a singer, but the level I’m at … I have constant guilt. I don’t have to work; I think it’s because I have that option that I feel the guilt. But it’s important for my girls, especially, to see me as a woman accomplishing all these things while nailing it as a mom. I always come back to that."
