It's weird to think that people who are teenagers won't be able to remember a time when the Kardashians weren't in the public eye. But when you take a moment to think about it, you may find that you can't actually recall a time when they weren't so insidiously
there.
Wherever you turn, chances are you'll see or hear something about America's most infamous family. Switch on the TV and you may be confronted with an episode from one of the many seasons of the hit E! show. And forget hearing about world events,
Kim Kardashian and her family's exploits often make front page news from as little as Kim posting a selfie of her famous behind.
Certainly, for the entire month of December, we've had our Instagram feeds inundated with snaps of the Kardashians, Jenners and Disicks from their annual Christmas card. In the run up to the 25th December, Kim Kardashian as well as Kourtney and
Kris Jenner posted different images from the photo-shoot every day, all of which depicted the Klan dressed in the festive ensembles of white t-shirts and blue denim. But now, Kim Kardashian has just deleted all the images from her Instagram feed, and she has a rather understandable reason for doing so.

Many fans believe that the reason Kim deleted her family Christmas photos from her Instagram has something to do with all the speculation regarding Kylie's absence. Yes, while Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and all of their and Kris's other children took centre stage for the photo-shoot, one rather integral member of the family was missing - the 20-year-old beauty mogul,
Kylie Jenner.
Many people assumed that Kylie chose to not take part in a move to hide her baby bump, as she still hasn't confirmed the rumours that she's pregnant with rapper boyfriend,
Travis Scott, who she has been dating for little over a year.

Now while, it makes sense that Kim had had enough of all the conjecture surrounding Kylie's pregnancy, she took to Twitter to clarify why exactly she deleted the festive snaps - and no, it has nothing to do with Kylie, and a lot more to do with maintaining her chic Instagram aesthetic.
According to Kim, the photographs, while beautiful, didn't exactly fit with the vibe of her Instagram grid, and she asserted that it was "always the plan" to get rid of them. Taking to her Twitter account, Kim wrote, "Was always the plan. I archieved them so my instagram feed vibe is back".

While we haven't gotten any closer to knowing whether Kylie Jenner is definitely pregnant, Kardashian fans had reason to rejoice last week when
Khloé Kardashian finally confirmed that she was pregnant with boyfriend and professional basketball player,
Tristan Thompson's child.
In an Instagram post which showed off the reality television star's baby bump, Khloé wrote "My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him the way that you do!"
Well, that's one down. I guess we'll have to wait till the new year to find out whether Kylie's just been stringing us along this whole time.
