Merry Effin’ Christmas: Jon Gosselin tells Popeater.com that he plans to spend Christmas with his estranged wife Kate and the eight at the family’s estate in suburban Pennsylvania.

“They do the stockings early Christmas morning. Kate makes sticky buns. We keep it all the same. Nothing has changed,” the former star of TLC’s Jon & Kate says. “That way they have the sense of security with everything that’s going on. But, this year, there’s a lot of paparazzi, so who knows? Every year it’s different.”

Jon is currently embroiled in a bitter breach of contract suit with The Learning Channel.
