Dolly Parton Discusses Christmas Traditions

Dolly Parton, 78, embodies the spirit of Christmas by dressing as 'Granny Claus' each year, delighting her family by coming down the chimney with gifts despite the children being grown. In her latest interview with Good Housekeeping UK, she shares her extravagant holiday traditions, which include decorating her home extensively with lights and festive decor, starting as early as Thanksgiving. While she keeps the exterior of her house more subtle for tourists, the interior is a vibrant display of Christmas cheer. Parton embraces her unique style by incorporating Christmas lights into her outfits, from her hair to her jewelry. She expresses joy in spreading love and confidence to children in her life, describing how she has 'kind of adopted' many nieces and nephews. Despite not having children of her own, she feels fulfilled in her role of bringing joy to those around her.
