Evan Ross posts huge family Christmas photo where everyone including Diana Ross and Ashlee Simpson is wearing a BEAR costume

Evan Ross wished his fans a Merry Christmas this week by posing for a photo from his family gathering for the holidays.

Family members taking part in the festivities included Evan's wife Ashlee Simpson, as well as his world-famous mother Diana Ross.

Heartwarmingly, everyone in the photo, including the diligently glamorous Diana, wore a cozy-looking bear costume.

They all gathered in the backyard for photos, posing under elegant seasonal decor like twinkling lights and red and gold baubles.

The photo, which was posted on Boxing Day, featured Ashlee and Evan's children Jagger, eight, and Ziggy, three, as well as Ashlee's son Bronx, 15.

Ashlee welcomed Bronx in 2008 with her first husband Pete Wentz, a musician who rose to national fame as part of the band Fall Out Boy.

Some of Evan's siblings were also on hand for the Christmas photo, including his sisters Chudney Ross and Rhonda Ross Kendrick and their brother Ross Naess.

Notably absent, however, was his most famous sibling Tracee Ellis Ross, an actress best known for the sitcoms Girlfriends and Black-ish.

Tracee apparently left Los Angeles in search of a white Christmas and posted an Instagram video of herself dancing through the snow in an unknown location.

Also missing from Evan's family photo was Ashlee's sister Jessica Simpson, who has three children with her ex-NFL husband Eric Johnson.

Shortly after Thanksgiving, Tracee revealed what Diana wanted for Christmas this year: a wish that Evan's photo will grant.

“All my mother wants is to be with the children and grandchildren,” the little actress said People magazine. 'That's exactly it.'

As for the presents, Tracee fondly joked, “Oh, my mom loves everything. I swear to God, you could look at my mother and say, 'I gave you this hug from the deepest part of my soul,' and she would say, 'It's beautiful.'”

Tracee explained that the matching family costumes are a Christmas tradition – and revealed that Diana and Chudley are the ones who choose the gimmick.

“My mother took us to a costume house to take the family photo. And we went to a costume house and we were all dressed in Victorian attire,” Tracee presented.

'We just went into storage. We all got into my mom's coats and just did all her coats. Everyone. The children were wearing gigantic coats. It is awesome.'

As a testament to her festive spirit, Diana also released a beloved Christmas album in 1994 called A Special Season, featuring standards such as White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Silent Night and The Christmas Song.

Five years ago the album was expanded and re-released, with newly added songs including O Little Town Of Bethlehem and The First Noel.
