Being the media darling that she is, when Rihanna makes a move, the music world watches intently. So, when the R&B superstar decided to travel back home to her native Barbados to enjoy Christmas with family and close friends, it was sure to make a splash on the news circuit.

RiRi shared some of her holiday festivities last week with a series of photos on her Instagram account. Beginning with a pic of her blacked-out Christmas tree that was glittering, it seems the 'Stay' singer takes her holiday celebration very seriously. Another pic featured the pop star and BFF Melissa Forde standing in front of the same tree wearing matching blue fur coats (“Smurfette couture”).

Then on Christmas Day, Rihanna posted a photo of what appears to be a snowman propped as a reindeer as she wished her fans a "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." Since Rihanna is in Barbados, it's only right that she gets some fun in the sun. The 26-year-old artist posted an image of herself and Forde lounging by the pool in red bikinis. Santa Claus would be proud.

Rihanna also enjoyed some quality time with her grandfather Bravo and 6-month-old baby cousin Majesty. Overall, the 'We Found Love' singer looked to be her usual stunning self and by the looks of her photos, she had a family oriented and drama-free holiday vacation.

Check out the photos below from Rihanna's Instagram page.
