Kim Kardashian has come under fire for sharing a video of her daughter North West’s elaborately decked Christmas bedroom.
The video, which Kardashian published on her Instagram story, shows a room decorated with numerous Christmas trees, snow-covered surfaces, and a profusion of gifts.
While some viewers were thrilled by the display, others slammed Kardashian for “overindulging” her daughter.
“This is just ridiculous. What happened to the magic of Christmas being about spending time with family and not material possessions?” one person wondered.
“This is just another example of how out of touch celebrities are with reality. Most families can’t afford to decorate their homes like this, let alone just one room for their child,” said another.
Some supporters, however, have defended Kardashian, claiming that she is only trying to give her daughter a wonderful Christmas experience.
“People need to relax,” one commenter stated. “Kim is just trying to make Christmas magical for her daughter. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“North is only young once. Let her enjoy this special time of year,” said another.
The controversy around Kardashian’s Christmas decorations emphasizes the ongoing debate about materialism and childhood.
Some say that lavishing presents on youngsters might foster attitudes of entitlement and a lack of appreciation for the genuine purpose of the holidays.
Others argue that parents should be allowed to celebrate holidays however they see fit.
The reaction to Kardashian’s film, on the other hand, demonstrates that it is a topic that continues to elicit debate and controversy.
