The members of Little Big Town all have holiday traditions that mean a great deal to them. For Kimberly Schlapman, when she was a kid it was all about gathering together with family to open presents even though everyone already knew what they were getting.

“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,” she says. “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. And we tuck ourselves in until Santa comes.”

Karen Fairchild’s holiday traditions are a little sweeter since hers revolved around making candy. Karen shares, “We did everything from potato candy to chocolate-dipped peanut butter and fudge. My mom’s fudge recipe is amazing.”
