Luke Bryan usually has a house full of family at Christmas.
However, this year, the Georgia native will take his family where the snow is fresh and there is a chill in the air.
“This year, we’re excited. We are insuring ourselves of a white Christmas,” says Bryan.
“We’re going snow skiing on Christmas. So, snowmen, chestnuts roasting by an open fire, the whole Jack Frost thing, snow skiing, chapped skin, busted lips…”
The Bryan clan will probably continue their tradition of having chili dogs on Christmas Eve, as well.
“We have a pajama night and we do chili dogs on Christmas Eve, and we’ve always done that,” he says.
“My mother comes up and we go shop. She makes me go shop with her, so we have to pick out all the right stuff. We have to get the proper buns, the proper wieners. It’s very important. All beef wieners for the chili dog cooking. It’s a ritual. So, we’re eating chili dogs in pajamas, and so it’s special anytime you can come up with fun traditions and hold true to them. Yeah, so cooking chili dogs in a onesie is pretty special.”

As for his favourite part of Christmas?
“My favourite part of the holidays obviously is watching the kids – watching the boys’ excitement for what they may or may not be getting and watching them tear open Christmas presents on Christmas morning,” says Bryan.
“You got the fireplace going. You got Christmas music on the TV. You’ve got – you get up at 6am. You’re exhausted and you’ve got all your family there. It doesn’t get any better than certainly waking up on Christmas mornings and just having that special time.”
Bryan finished the year on a high note.
His album Crash My Party was recently awarded ACM Album Of The Decade.
And his latest single ‘What She Wants Tonight’ is climbing the country airplay charts.
More new music expected in early 2020.
