Dierks Bentley is the father of three children, Evie, Jordan, and Knox.<\/p>\n
So it’s no surprise that Dierks reverts back to his childhood at Christmas when he started having a family of his own.<\/p>\n
\u201cChristmas didn\u2019t lose any of its real meaning, as far as its religious meaning with Jesus\u2019 birthday. But as far as like the whole tree and all of the Christmas spirit stuff, the secular stuff, it just kind of goes away, to be honest. But then you have a family, and all of a sudden it\u2019s like I\u2019m all Clark Griswold out there decorating the tree, putting lights up around the house, you know. So, all of those things that you did as a kid and appreciated as a kid, you get a chance to do over again when you have kids, because you kinda become one again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Dierks and his family especially enjoy looking at all of the lights.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of our favorite Christmas traditions is just driving around looking at lights,\u201d he says. \u201cLove seeing all the lights back in the valley, back in Arizona and Phoenix where I\u2019m from, and that tradition is carried over to here for me in Nashville. We\u2019ve got a lot of lights up on the house. We\u2019ve got a Grinch in the front yard, as well as a talking Santa, so new traditions here in Nashville and some old ones, as well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dierks Bentley talks about how he and his family celebrate Christmas.
