"Some pics from our Christmas Eve Party. We danced to “All Of Me” since the last time we heard @johnlegend sing this live it was at our wedding for our first dance!" she captioned the photo.

Original Story:
For some people, the exciting part of Christmas morning is unwrapping presents from Santa. For me, it's waking up and voraciously scrolling through Instagram to see what the Kardashian-Jenners got up to at their annual Christmas party, held the night before the holiday on Christmas Eve. And let me tell you: Even though last year's party set the bar high, 2018's over-the-top get-together did not disappoint.
The annual event was held at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's house in Calabasas. Although the weather in Southern California on December 24 was—as usual—in the mid-60s, it wound up being a white Christmas anyway: The Kardashian-Wests hired actual snow machines to turn their California backyard into what looked like a Colorado ski resort—complete with pine trees and a bunny hill.
The "igloo" where the party took place was decorated like Whoville, with all-white, Seuss-inspired decor and a lighted, mirrored floor. They also had a confectioner whipping up candy sculptures for the little ones. (Saint got a lollipop shaped like a dragon, and I, a 27-year-old woman, was deeply jealous.)
And in case the DIY ski slopes and decorations weren't enough to keep guests entertained, they also had Mr. Christmas himself, John Legend, performing at the party (unfortunately, there is no audio of his heavenly pipes).
And yes, the outfits were just as lit as the rest of the party: Khloé Kardashian wore a two-piece snow princess outfit that she matched with her daughter, True's, and Kylie Jenner did the same thing with baby Stormi, both wearing head-to-toe silver sequins. Kendall Jenner wore a lime green floor-length gown, while Kourtney Kardashian stunned in green velvet. And Kim, always one for a theme, matched her look to the decor in head-to-toe white.
As if it couldn't get more extra, Jennifer Lopez was also there to celebrate the holiday with her pals the Kardashian-Wests.
And, in what can only be described as "a Christmas miracle" and the best gift I've ever received, Paris Hilton was in attendance: It looks like she and Kim (Kim being her former closet organizer) are now BFFs. They buddied up on Kim's Instagram stories, and then went sledding together down Kim's man-made mountain. Be still, my early '00s heart.
Kourtney and Kendall also took turns sledding down the hill in their black-tie gowns, although Kendall's ride ended in a bit of a tumble.
Seriously, though: What do I have to do to get invited to this thing next year?
