Let’s dive into how Mina Starsiak Hawk, star of "Good Bones," spent her Christmas this year. It wasn’t your typical Hallmark holiday, especially with some tension in the air between her and her mom, Karen E. Laine. Despite the ongoing family feud, Mina managed to keep things festive and memorable for herself and her loved ones. Here’s the inside scoop on how she handled it all.
Family Feud or Festive Fun? Mina’s Christmas Celebration
This year, Mina Starsiak Hawk leaned into the simplicity of spending quality time with her immediate family. The reality TV star, alongside her husband, Steve Hawk, and their adorable kids, Jack and Charlotte, created their own Christmas magic. Instead of letting the ongoing rift with her mom overshadow the joy of the season, Mina focused on what truly mattered—her little family unit.
Through her Instagram Stories, Mina gave fans a peek into her Christmas morning. Her kids lit up the screen as they eagerly tore into their gifts, their laughter filling the air. But the festivities didn’t stop there. The family enjoyed a heartwarming visit with some cousins, all dressed in matching pajamas—a holiday tradition if I’ve ever seen one. On Christmas Eve, they played games together, creating memories that will last a lifetime. In another delightful moment, Mina shared videos of decorating cookies with her family. She captioned one clip simply, “Mayhem,” which only made it more endearing.

Mina’s brother, William Starsiak, also shared photos of the family dressed in matching pajamas on his Instagram account. In one of the photos, Karen E. Laine posed for a selfie with William by the pool. Whether Mina and Karen were at the same gathering or had any interaction remains a mystery, but the photos suggest there’s still some holiday cheer in the Starsiak household.
Back in November, Mina opened up on her podcast about the dilemma of juggling two Christmas invites. One was from her sister, and the other was from Steve’s grandmother. Talk about a tough call! “My very thoughtful sister plans very far in advance,” Mina told her “Mina AF” listeners. “She sent out a spreadsheet with the pajama sizes and the activities for Thanksgiving through Christmas, probably in, like, September.” After some deep discussions and therapy sessions, Mina and Steve decided to split their time to make both celebrations work. “If we’re a little bit past the kids’ bedtime, that’s OK, because I know them seeing your grandma and getting to know her a little bit more as well as being able to be with all their cousins, those things are both important to us,” she said.
What About Tad Starsiak? How He Spent Christmas
While Mina was navigating her own family dynamics, her brother Tad Starsiak celebrated Christmas in a more low-key manner. Tad, who also appeared on "Good Bones," is not on the best terms with Mina or their mom, Karen, right now. The tension between them reached a boiling point during the filming of season 8, leading to a heated argument on set. Despite the drama, Tad made sure to celebrate the holidays with his fiancée, Anna Spiars, and his brothers. He shared snippets of their celebration on his Instagram Stories, including a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and several stockings hanging by the fireplace. It seems like Tad found his own way to enjoy the season, surrounded by those closest to him.
