Tis the season to be with loved ones. Many families have special traditions that they look forward to each year. We had the chance to talk to one our favourite Canadian country family, The Stellas, about how they celebrate the holidays!
TC: Any special Christmas Eve traditions?
As a family, every year on Christmas Eve we each get to open one present – and it’s always new pajamas!!
TC: How do you spend Christmas day?
On Christmas Day we spend the afternoon serving dinner to the homeless at the shelter here in Nashville.
