Dolly Parton has embraced the holiday spirit this year like never before. With the launch of her bakeware line, a festive sweater collection, and her first new Christmas album in decades, she’s certainly gotten us in the mood for the season. Plus, who could forget her delightfully whimsical Netflix movie, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square”? But what’s even more interesting is how Dolly celebrates the holidays in her own home.
In a recent episode of the podcast hosted by Jordan Black, Dolly shared a unique way she enjoys the festive season: she keeps her Christmas decorations up well into January. And while you don’t really need a reason to do this, here’s what she had to say about her tradition: “I put up my decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving until my birthday on January 19th. I always tell them to leave my decorations up until after my birthday, because I’m still celebrating.”
That’s all there is to it! Even if you don’t have a January birthday, you should feel free to keep those decorations up for as long as you desire. After all, January and February can be the longest, coldest months of winter, and there’s not much to look forward to (sorry, Valentine’s Day doesn’t count). If you want to leave your Christmas decor up until spring, you don’t need permission from anyone, not even Dolly.
Interestingly, a study from this year revealed that over half of Americans believe it’s perfectly fine to keep holiday decorations up past January. In fact, 83% reported that their decorations brought a sense of joy to what has been a challenging year, prompting many to decorate earlier and keep their festive spirit alive longer. So, let’s take a cue from Dolly Parton and make it a tradition to keep our decorations up as long as we please—after all, why not?
