One of the great joys of Christmas for Jackson Dean is getting to go home to Maryland to spend time with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He particularly loves seeing his young nieces and nephews, who are still working on understanding that Uncle Jack is also country star Jackson Dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s totally worth the thousand mile trip every time. It\u2019s pretty awesome gettin\u2019 to be this mythic Uncle Jack that they see and watch on the TV, and then I show up and it takes \u2018em a minute to realize that I\u2019m the same guy. For a minute there, they thought that we were two different people. Like, they see Uncle Jack on TV and then I\u2019m this other guy Uncle Jack. You know so it\u2019s a very funny thing with them sometimes and they\u2019ve been to a couple shows and stuff so they\u2019re starting to put it together as much as they can comprehend but yeah there\u2019s two more of them now and just like before too long we\u2019re going to be outnumbered and I love them to death.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
