When the holidays come around, fans know that the Kardashian family does it big.

From over the top cards to star-studded Christmas Eve parties, Kris Jenner and the crew never lack the festive spirit.

But in a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Khloe Kardashian reveals that Caitlyn Jenner may not be around for every major holiday this winter. Don't worry, though. It's certainly not for a dramatic reason.

"She's still part of our family. It's still our Dad we say, which I know is confusing to some people but that's how we know her," Khloe shared on Monday's new Ellen DeGeneres Show. "And she's not gonna be with us on Thanksgiving because she's working, but she'll be with us for Christmas, for sure."

The talk-show host also talked about previous episodes of I Am Cait where it appeared from some viewers perspective that Khloe "had a really hard time" adjusting to the transition. In true Khloe fashion, she was  honest and candid about her personal experience.

"Well I had a hard time because I found out on camera like while we were filming and I felt like we kept asking him. Bruce, like what's going on? We're hearing all these rumors. And he kept telling us one thing, but really he knew he was transitioning and wouldn't be honest with us," she explained. "So we felt like we were kind of the last to know so that was hard for us. Especially me."

She continued, "I defended him for so long or whatever. So that was hard for me and then now I'm fully ok with it, but I think the biggest part for me was understanding that Bruce is totally separate than Caitlyn. And he liked to tell us that ‘Oh I'm always going to be Bruce. I'll always be your Dad, I'm just gonna be'… and I think he meant that. I don't think Bruce knew fully that when he would be Caitlyn, I'm sure no one knows what's going to happen. We're all doing this for the first time."

Today, Khloe is "fine with everything" that involves Caitlyn. She's also feeling stronger than ever when it comes to her figure and mental state of mind.

Watch Monday's episode to hear the Strong Looks Better Naked author explain her transformation and how she empowered herself to live a healthier life.
