As we get closer to Christmas Lauren Alaina shares a very special gift she was given.

Lauren told us, “My Mom and Dad had their names on the front of their Bibles, and I was so jealous of that as a kid. So, I begged my Mom to get me a Bible that had my name on it, and she actually got this Bible that you design the whole thing yourself. And she designed this Bible for me and it had my name on it and I still have it, and it’s one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever been given.”

As for the song Alaina leans toward this holiday season, it's a classic for sure. She says, “‘O Holy Night’ is one of my favorite Christmas songs ever. I think that it’s just beautifully written. The melody and the lyrics and the meaning of the song, it’s a perfect representation of what Christmas is all about, and I love that. I am so honored that I was able to finally do a recording of it.”
