If there's one thing John Wayne loved, it was Christmas!

In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, the late star's family opened up about the iconic actor's passion for the holidays.

"He loved Christmas. We had a huge living room, and by the time Christmas came around, you couldn't walk through it because there were so many gifts under the tree," his daughter Marisa, 50, told Closer.

Buying presents for his family meant a lot to the Duke. "He did his own shopping," John's daughter-in-law Gretchen, 81, revealed. "He'd go out to Sears and call us and say, 'Is there something the kids want?' He bought his granddaughters their first strings of pearls."
