Josh Turner and his wife Jennifer used to travel around during the holidays, but after they started having children, they decided to stay put in Tennessee over Christmas. “We have kind of made it a point to be at home at Christmas, ‘cause we want the boys to grow up with memories of being at home for Christmas, instead of traveling around going from this place to that place.” The family of six also includes sons Hampton, Colby, Marion and Hawke.

His favorite dish to eat at Christmastime is turkey. “My favorite food to eat at Christmas time is probably the fried turkey that my daddy makes every year,” says Josh. “He started that several years back, and it became a hit with our family, and so he ended up doing it. He’s been doing it every year since, so that’s always been my favorite food.”

Josh is currently making his way up the country charts with “Hometown Girl.”
