‘Tis the season for holiday snacks, and Trisha Yearwood says that she is all about making the most of Christmastime, from decorating the house to filling it with friends and the aroma of cookies galore! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• One gift that lasts a lot longer than cookies is the gift of music, and you can pick up Trisha’s new album, PrizeFighter: Hit after Hit, everywhere you find great music, and find it digitally on GhostTunes!

  Knowing Trisha Yearwood’s affinity for the kitchen, if you think that her house probably smells great at Christmastime, you’d be right! (:48)
“Our house does smell amazing during Christmas — and it looks amazing during Christmas. It’s my favorite holiday, so I am that girl that decorates over the top. I can’t wait to get the Christmas tree up, and I try to put it up…I used to be the girl that said, ‘Man, they just shouldn’t be talkin’ about Christmas before we get through Thanksgiving,’ but now I want to put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving because I want as much time — you put a lot of time into decorating your house, you know, I mean, we’d string garland and lights and the whole bit — and I want ’em to be up as long as they can. And yes, I do everything from obviously the holiday meals to my friends and I have what we call a ‘cookie party,’ and everybody comes over, and we bake our favorite cookies. And so there’s tons of mixers goin’, tons of ovens goin’, and tons of cookies. And then we all make plates and trade out and give ’em away and stuff. So, it does smell good at my house during the holidays.”
