Why Dolly Parton Is OK With Mariah Carey's “Queen of Christmas' Title
, Dolly looked forward to the holidays as a child, saying, "Momma always made Christmas great" even when money was tight.
"I always say Momma could tell you anything and make you believe it, " she recalled. "She had to make Christmas good for all of us. She didn't have any money to do it any other way. You know, we really didn't know we were poor. I always make a joke, ‘We didn't know we was poor 'til some smart-ass up and told us.'"
Dolly explained that growing in the Smokey Mountains as one of 12 kids, her family didn't even have electricity for lights on the tree, so they used popcorn garlands for decoration—"That's one of the things I have to have today," she said. "I never got over being country."
