A Special Christmas Wish For You, Vintage Elvis Style


Elvis White Christmas Tree

Christmas held a special place in Elvis' heart. Wherever Elvis Presley travelled, he always tried to come home to Graceland. From November until his birthday, January 8th, Graceland would be decked out for the Holiday season.

Blue Christmas lights lined the driveway. A life size nativity set was displayed. Drapes in every window were changed to red velvet. The whole house was decorated from top to bottom in Christmas cheer.


The sound of Christmas carols filled the air, as family and friends gathered around the piano to join in with Elvis.
