Garth Brooks Says He and Wife Trisha Yearwood Will Have a 'Misfit' Thanksgiving: Here's What That Means

Garth Brooks is ready to celebrate the holiday season with Trisha Yearwood.

While appearing in the issue of Tuesday, November 26 Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Brooks, 62, revealed what he and his wife of nearly two decades will be doing for Thanksgiving.

“She does what we call a custom Thanksgiving, Mrs. Yearwood does, because we have a lot of people in that town who are just for that industry. Their families are somewhere else, so they’re alone on Thanksgiving, so she opens her door,” he shared. said Brooks, explaining that they expect “20 to 25 people” at their home for the holidays.

He explained that because Yearwood, 60, is a “fantastic cook” he didn’t “want to stand in the way of perfection” and joked that he would only help by “cleaning up”.

What she does is she takes all the leftovers and puts them in one pan, puts a biscuit top on it and bakes the pan, he said.

“Mrs. Yearwood said Christmas was starting now, and that was about three weeks ago. She dug the Christmas tree out of the basement. It’s already up. We’re ready to go. We played Christmas music,” he said. .

After Brooks said their Christmas decorations wouldn’t come down until his birthday, February 7, he opened up about why he “can’t get enough Christmas in his life.”

“For me, [Christmas tree] decorations are cool, but they have to have some meaning. We always decorate with three girls. We’ve been doing this since we’ve known each other. So three girls have three bells, and that’s the first thing that has to go on the tree,” Brooks said as he became visually emotional.

“I’m going to cry, I’m sorry. It’s the first thing that goes on the tree, and that means it’s Christmas and that means it’s time to love each other and put all this nonsense aside— and just have a little fun together,” Brooks continued. .

His comments about the holidays come weeks after he filed a motion to have his lawsuit against “Jane Roe,” who accused him of sexual assault and battery, moved to a higher court. Brooks denied the claims made against him in the original lawsuit filed against him in October, calling them part of the “shakedown.”
