Welcome to The List,
With Christmas just weeks away it’s only fair to ask some of your favorite country music stars questions about how they celebrate and some of their fondest memories. Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman talks about her family’s Christmas traditions. “We would go over to my grandmother’s house and have Christmas over there, and everybody would come home to Mama and Daddy’s house. We’d sit down and Mama hands out everybody a gift, and we act like we don’t what it is, but we do ’cause it’s always Christmas pajamas. So, everybody opens their Christmas pajamas and goes and puts ’em on, and we come back to the living room and we sit around Daddy and he reads The Christmas Story.” Sounds like fun…don’t know about the pajama’s though

And TJ from Brothers Osborne LOVES being a Christmas homebody “I think part of just holidays in general when mostly there’s nowhere to go, every place is shut down so you are forced to finally relax. You have to be a family and hang in this house..” I would have to agree…anytime you can relax and do nothing?? It’s a plus in MY book.
