Miranda Lambert Leaves Her Christmas Lights Up All Year Long
Remember when GRETCHEN WILSON sang about keeping her Christmas lights on her front porch all year long in “Redneck Woman”? Well, MIRANDA LAMBERT is living it.
She says, quote, “Actually, my lights are still up and have been since last Christmas. So the good thing was I didn’t have to re-string them this year because they’re already up. It’s celebration all year around, how about that?”
CHARLES KELLEY said his favorite Christmas memory was the time he got a black eye. Seriously. Quote, “The one I remember the most was when I wrecked my bike. I had just gotten it for Christmas. It had rained and I slid out and the bike handle hit me in the eye and I got a big ole black eye.”
KIP MOORE explains why his dad used to let the family stay up way late on Christmas Eve. Quote, “The night before Christmas my dad would take us to the video store and we’d rent a bunch of movies and watch them all night. That was the thing we looked forward to . . . hanging out together and laughing until three, four, five in the morning.”
KIMBERLY PERRY and her husband, Major League baseball player J.P. ARENCIBIA don’t have children, but they do have two new puppies. She posted a photo on Instagram and captioned it, “[We’d] like to introduce you to our new kiddos. Ladies and Gents meet Moose and Bear.”
