Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey offered a few glimpses of their Christmas festivities to their legions of worldwide fans.
The couple have soldiered through a year in which they were beset by rumors of marital woes, which he frankly addressed on his new album Swag.
On Christmas Eve, the devout Christian looked back on the pain he has experienced in an Instagram post about the ‘gift of forgiveness.’
However he also embraced the more joyous side of Yuletide, uploading an album showing how he and Hailey celebrated with their son Jack Blues, 16 months.
Little Jack could be seen wearing a themed red sweater with a Santa hat as he scampered along a private jet headed to an unknown destination.
The Baby singer also posted a photo of his noticeably small Christmas tree, elegantly decorated with heaps of gifts waiting underneath.

A row of white stockings was hung from the mantlepiece, amid a smart arrangement of decor including a bouquet of flowers and a set of brass tree figurines.
That same day, Christmas Eve, he penned a message about the ‘gift of forgiveness’ and ‘all I have went through’ on his Instagram account.
‘Christmas time is that time to reflect and ask yourself what you really want,’ he wrote in the caption of a lengthy message.
‘What truly fulfills? Christmas is a reminder of Jesus and the free gift of forgiveness only he can offer. Reflecting on this reminds me of all I have went through.
‘And how he has brought me through it all. Letting go resentment [sic] is hard but when Jesus reveals hisself [sic] as willing and able, it’s hard to deny him.’
Bieber – who was seen yawning earlier this week while driving his wife Hailey Bieber – concluded, ‘Hope wherever you are you can lean into this love that meets us exactly where we are no matter what.’
Bieber also shared a series of religious ruminations on the day before Christmas.
Quoting Psalm 147:3: ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds,’ Bieber wrote, ‘I grew up in a system that rewarded my gift but didn’t always protect my soul.

‘There were moments I felt used, rushed, shaped into something I didn’t fully choose. That kind of pressure leaves wounds you don’t see on stage.
‘I’ve carried anger,’ he continued. ‘I’ve asked God why. But Jesus keeps meeting me in the middle of the pain – not excusing what hurt me, but teaching me how not to become bitter.’
But Bieber wasn’t finished yet. He also posted a pair of selfies from his living room. In one snap, he was facing the camera with eyes rolled to the right. In the other, he was grinning with eyes fixed on the camera.
The social media posts come amid speculation his marriage to Hailey Bieber is in a vulnerable place.
In recent sightings, the couple have appeared sullen and uncommunicative.
On December 23, Bieber was seen yawning while driving his wife around L.A. in a Land Rover before they headed out to dinner at the South Beverly Grill in the swanky neighborhood of Beverly Hills.

The pop star has been candid with fans about his emotional state of late and he admitted mean comments get to him.
During a recent Twitch session, he said: ‘Going on Twitch is vulnerable as hell because people who just feel s****y about themselves project and then they write mean-a** things.
‘It’s already hard enough to put yourself out there, and then you gotta read all this.’
Bieber revealed he even starts questioning whether the things people are saying about him are true.
