Dolly Parton, the beloved country legend at 78, is all set to embrace the holidays. In an interview with guest host Jessie James Decker on TalkShopLive released on Thursday, December 13, she shared her love for dressing up during the Christmas season. "I wear everything Christmas. When it comes to Christmas, I have it all," Parton said. "Socks, shoes, sweaters, earrings, and my hair even lights up." This enthusiasm extends to when she has her nieces and nephews over for their annual "cookie night." "I keep them for a day and a half, from one afternoon all night until the next day," she added about this festive family time. "They drive around the farm on golf carts and all that. But if I'm dressed like Santa Claus, I've got to have all my Santa stuff on."

Her Christmas Fashion and Accessories

Parton goes all out with her Christmas fashion. She makes sure to have earrings that light up and lights in her hair. Her festive sweaters also light up, adding to the holiday spirit. "And then when we're gonna do cookies, I gotta have my earrings that light up, I've gotta have lights in my hair, festive sweaters that light up, so yeah, I'm all about it," she said. "I'm a Holly Dolly Christmas girl."

Spending Time with Family in East Tennessee

Parton has been married to husband Carl Thomas Dean since 1966. During the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, she spends time with her loved ones in East Tennessee. "I've got a lot of relatives in East Tennessee," she said. "So between Thanksgiving and the first of the year, the ones that live down here... we go home to see those in East Tennessee." She added, "And then we go around here. We just go to each other's houses, different times, different nights or whatever. And usually, I spend Christmas day with my husband."

Christmas Wish and Peace

Parton concluded by sharing her Christmas wish. "So that is my wish that people are trying to put aside all their differences and all their things and just trying to find that peace that comes from Christmas and that peace within themselves and just try to love one another," she said. "It would be great if we could do it all the time, but at least try to make an effort to do it on Christmas because that's the Christ time."Parton then read her book Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Comes Home for Christmas, which was released in October, to Jessie, her husband Eric Decker, and their four children Vivianne Rose, 10, Eric Thomas, 9, Forrest Bradley, 6, and Denver Calloway, 10 months.
