Chris Young says that Christmas time is his favorite time of year and actually, it was a Christmas gift that started Chris on his way to country music stardom.
Chris told us, "I actually got my first guitar as a Christmas gift. So, that’s one that’s always going to stand out in my mind as a gift that I picked up and was like so excited to have. And, then realized it was going to take me a really long time to learn to play it."
He added, "But, it’s obviously brought me a lot of joy over the years being able to sit down and kick up and instrument and just sing and play. So, that was pretty special."
Young loves Christmas so much that in 2016 he released a complete Christmas album called It Must Be Christmas.
