This weekend we made time for another favorite holiday tradition, building and decorating a gingerbread house. Instead of one house, I found a kit that had four houses, a whole village! Now we just need a Mayor.

Jon Pardi stopped by the TODAY Show to perform his original song "400 Horsepower Sleigh" from his first holiday album 'Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi'!

Lainey Wilson stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform her latest single "Wildflowers and Wild Horses":

Nate Smith recently covered "Chasing Cars" from Snow Patrol, and now he has a new cover that he has been performing at shows. Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box". He said in an Instagram post 3 days ago that his all time favorite band will always be Nirvana. Yesterday, he posted a video of him performing the song in Seattle, which as we all know, is where Nirvana originated. So cool!

After the Thanksgiving festivities were over, it was officially Christmas for us. What kicks of the holiday season for us is picking out our Christmas tree at Galehouse Tree Farm in Doylestown. After we find THE tree, we like to visit the gift shop, get some hot cocoa and popcorn, then it is time to head home to decorate!

You couldwin a FREE Christmas tree all this week with me and WQMX, just be listening for the Country Quiz after 11am!
