“I put on my Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving,” Parton said. “I celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving until my birthday on January 19.”

Parton also messed up the beans about what she and her family are preparing for their Christmas dinner: we do all the traditional things, like everyone else. The turkey and dress. ‘

“Sometimes we just bake big fat chickens instead of turkeys, but we do all the hams and the stuffing, the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin and potato pie.”
And Parton still makes chicken and dumplings, according to family tradition. “My family loves it,” she said. “Mom used to make dumplings with Christmas earlier, so I do it quite a bit, in addition to all the other stuff.”
Would you expect anything less from such a Christmas legend?
