Back together: After her whistlestop tour to promote Burlesque, Christina Aguilera and son Max enjoy some last minute Christmas shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly HillsFor parents with young children, Christmas can be a magical time, with trips to visit Santa, school nativity plays and carol concerts.
But it looks like Christina Aguilera is not quite feeling the holiday spirit.
Reunited with her son Max after a whirlwind tour to promote her new movie Burlesque, she looked down in the dumps as they did some last minute shopping yesterday.
Dressed down in sweat pants, her bleached hair loose and untended, she visited Barneys New York in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old is facing her first Christmas as a single mother after announcing her divorce from Jordan Bratman in November.
Since then she has begun a new relationship, dating Matthew Rutler, an assistant she met on the set of Burlesque.
Matthew accompanied Christina on the European press tour for the film and even celebrated her 30th birthday with her at the after party for the London première of the film this past Saturday.
New life: After filing for divorce from Max's father Jordan Bratman, Christina is now facing life as a single mumDespite her glum face, Christina should feel lucky she was able to be with her son for Christmas.
With heavy snow and ice causing travel chaos at airports, her co-star Kristen Bell feared they would make it back from Europe.
In a post on her Twitter.com page over the weekend she wrote: 'Dear Europe, please let us go. We have been very good this year and we are very homesick. Love, us.'
