Dolly Parton reveals her festive role for each Christmas season

• She aims to empower children and give them confidence as she ages.
• Parton recently donated $1 million for Hurricane Helene relief in Tennessee, a cause she supports.
• She reflects on the beauty of her home and the devastation she witnessed.

Dolly Parton truly knows how to celebrate every occasion, especially Christmas. In a recent interview with “Good Housekeeping UK”, the veteran singer shared that she goes all out for the holiday each year.

Parton said, "Every year, I play Granny Claus." Dressed in her Santa Claus attire, she comes down the chimney with a sack full of gifts. She added that even though the children are all grown up now, they still expect her to continue the tradition.

The country music icon joked, “One day, I’ll be hobbling in that elevator!” In 2018, Parton told the news that as she has gotten older, she has realized that, since she doesn’t have children of her own, she can consider everyone’s kids as hers. She expressed her desire to “empower” children and give them “confidence.”

She also told “Good Housekeeping UK” that people often come to look at her house, so she keeps the exterior decor modest. However, she decorates the interior to her heart's content. The singer revealed that she places Christmas trees in every room, along with plenty of lights. She even changes the decorations, curtains, and dishcloths to match the festive season.

Parton shared that, in addition to having Christmas lights throughout her house, she incorporates them into her hair. She also wears festive earrings, a reindeer necklace, and light-up sweaters.

Whether she’s making someone else happy or helping those in need, Dolly Parton always does whatever she can. According to a source, she recently donated $1 million for Hurricane Helene relief, which also impacted her home state of Tennessee.

She donated in collaboration with local businesses and Walmart. During a press conference, she reportedly said, "I wish that we were all together for a different reason, but we have all seen the devastation."

She added that no one could have imagined such devastation occurring in the small part of the country where she was born and raised, just down the road.

The country music legend noted that as she looked around, she thought of the mountains, the rivers flowing like streams, the valleys, and the people—and recognized that it was all her home.
