“For all these people to come out and push themselves to this great of a length for such a good cause is exciting and definitely something to celebrate,” shared Atkins. “It will be a fun night and I’m looking forward to being a part of it all.”

Favorite Christmas Presents of Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Sara Evans and More!

Christmas Gift

Ever wonder what some of your favorite country music artists get for Christmas?  We have some answers for you!

  • “The greatest gift I’ve ever received is a letter from my dad a few years back. He wrote about all of his memories of my life through my ups and downs. He told me he was proud and loved me through it all. His greatest words were in the last paragraph, ‘Be at peace with yourself, be at peace with everyone around you and, most important, be at peace with God.’” — Big & Rich’s Big Kenny
  • “My favorite Christmas gift is definitely my first Honda 50 motorcycle that I got back in 1984. It was just an amazing gift to have under the tree, and I never will forget seeing that.” — Luke Bryan
  • “Every Christmas my hometown radio station would always play ‘Christmas In Dixie’ by Alabama. I always remember lovin’ that song.” — Kenny Chesney
  • “My favorite Christmas songs are all of the old hymns and religious songs because the lyrics are very sacred.” — Sara Evans
  • “My favorite Christmas food is mom’s homemade brownies. My brothers and I called them ‘reindeer terds.’” — Gloriana’s Mike Gossin
  • “We put on the classic Christmas songs by Gene Autry, Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. We love those.” — Alan Jackson
  • “My favorite Christmas present as a kid was a ukulele from my parents, and I loved to carry it with me everywhere!” — the JaneDear girls’ Danelle Leverett
  • “My favorite Christmas gift was probably my very first guitar from my Grandpa about 15 years ago. And more recently, I got a red Gibson about 5 or 6 years ago. That red one we use onstage was given to me by my Dad for Christmas years ago.” — Lady Antebellum’s Dave Haywood
  • “I really enjoyed the go-cart my mom and dad got me and my brother when we were probably 6 or 7 years old.  We had more fun on that thing, for just hours and hours on end.  It was good times.  Just hanging with him was good.”- Billy Currington
  • “When I was in the third grade, I wanted a puppy real bad.  I wanted a miniature dachshund.  My parents told me they couldn’t, so I asked for a dirt bike instead.  Christmas morning, I heard all this yipping and whining…They had gotten me the puppy I wanted.” - Brantley Gilbert
  • “I can remember when I was about 6 or 7, I got a Hutch football outfit.  You got the helmet, the shoulder pads, the little jersey, and the pants.  Randomly, it was the New York Jets…I grew up in Southeast Missouri, so the Jets must have been the only one my parents could afford or get in the JCPenny catalog!  I can remember just freaking out.  I was a huge sports fan even then.  I can remember being way too big to even where the stuff and still trying to put it on.  Back then the Jets were horrible, and that was probably the most uncool jersey to wear but I didn’t care.  I would have probably tackled you if you made fun of me.”  - David Nail

Stars Share Christmas Memories

Merry Christmas

As we approach Christmas, we thought we’d share some special Christmas memories with some of your favorite stars. The guys and gals from the JaneDear Girls, Gloriana, Frankie Ballard, and Big Kenny received some very special Christmas presents when they were kids.

Susie Brown

JaneDear Girls

My parents gave me a ukulele when I was four years old and I loved to carry it with me EVERYWHERE I went!” says Danelle.

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been obsessed with horses. I used to read books about horses, watch movies with horses, cut out advertisements of horses for sale in the newspaper and show them to my parents so they knew exactly what kind of horse I wanted. My oldest sister had a bunch of horses, and when I was about 13 she bought a little white Arabian mare named Misty. We had a pasture at our house so I could ride her if my sister was there with her saddle,” Susie remembers. “A few months later on Christmas morning I went out to the living room and saw an English riding saddle, hat, and riding pants. I was so excited I put on all my new riding clothes and saddled up our organ bench just so I could sit on it.”

Gloriana

My favorite Christmas present as a kid was He-Man action figures,” says Michael.

So typical, but I got an Easy Bake Oven as a little girl and I loved it! I wonder if I still have it?”says Rachel.

Frankie Ballard

Back when I played hockey there was a hockey jacket you would get, a red corduroy jacket, all the kids would get it and put patches on it when they got a hat trick or won a championship. I remember finally getting one and freaking out

Brett Eldredge

A few years ago my mom asked my brother and I for a new robe for Christmas. Being the jokesters that we are, we got the idea to get a really old gross robe and smeared brown shoe polish on it to make it look gross because we wanted to see how she would react. She opened it and tried to act like she liked it but I couldn’t keep from laughing my butt off! I was laughing so hard I was crying! Eventually she figured out it was a prank and we went to the other room and brought her a brand new soft, clean robe! I kept the robe for Halloween and dressed up like ‘Cousin Eddy’ from Christmas Vacation!

Big Kenny

The greatest gift I’ve ever received is a letter from my Dad a few years back. He spoke of all of his memories of my life through my ups and downs. He told me he was proud and loved me through it all and his greatest words come in the last paragraph, ‘…be at Peace with yourself, be at Peace with everyone around you and most important be at Peace with God.’ “
