Our Country

Merry Christmas, Nashville-Style

Wondering what your favorite country artists are up to this fine Christmas 2009? I headed over to Twitter to round up a collection of yuletide sentiments from the past two days.

Some are funny, some are sweet; all are full of holiday cheer--and hey, James Otto, watch out. You'll shoot your eye out, kid!

Katie Armiger: My grandma got me tons of thigh-high tights for Christmas. I'm not sure what that means?? :D

Rissi Palmer: Christmas miracle: my mom saw my new tattoo and said it was cute...wow

Kellie Pickler: Happy Holidays to all of our service men and women overseas. Booked another USO tour, so see you soon!!

James Otto: I got a new Benneli shotgun for Christmas! All ducks beware and be fast or you will be dinner.

Randy Houser: (after several tweets bemoaning his dreadful holiday travel issues) Well...I just boarded the plane that's supposed to take me to my stress free zone. Wish me luck folks.

Dierks Bentley: Got a Christmas call (and a few lines of a Christmas song) from George Jones. Makes my Christmas. Thanks buddy.

Jewel: We opened Christmas presents this morning-(husband) Ty spoiled me as usual!

Martina McBride: (Daughter) Ava just made Santa a cookie in her Easy Bake Oven. She's making him a brownie next. Cute! Then it's baths and off to bed. Santa is coming!

Jessica Simpson: watching White Christmas...family tradition

Blake Shelton: Christmas Eve thinking... Gift bags, that's a good way to say.. 1. Too busy 2. Don't know how wrap 3. I'm obligated to get you something (editor's note: OK, you knew he was going to be the funny one, right?!)

Sugarland: Merry Christmas Eve everybody! Enjoy yourselves and each other. Have some eggnog for me too!

Jake Owen: It's good to be home... Been laughing a lot. Merry Christmas to everybody. See you in 2010!

Gloriana: my xmas gift: driving to get coffee and hearing "wild at heart" on xm radio channel 1!!

Jimmy Wayne: Watched the Christmas Story 3 times :)

A very merry Christmas and happy 2010 to you and yours from Viva NashVegas. Be sure to tell me what Santa brought you!
