Studies show that the earlier you decorate for Christmas, the happier you are, for John and TJ Osborne of Brothers Osborne there’s nothing like a good Christmas light display to get them in the holiday spirit.

“I love the overall feel and look at that time of year, because it’s starting to get really cold then and everything’s coming to a halt. It stays dark so you have a lot of Christmas lights. I just love Christmas lights – they put you in such an amazing mood,” says John. “Just the sounds, like all the Christmas music and even shopping, which is quite possibly one of the most hectic things to do during the holidays. Even if we have all our shopping done, we’ll still go to the mall just because it’s so alive and vibrant and the colors and the music and the lights. I just love it. It’s a bit sensory overload, but I kinda dig that.”

The lights and sounds of the holiday are a favorite for the Bros, but the slower pace of the season is also a much-anticipated event, giving the award-winning brother duo time to take a step back from their hectic lives and appreciate some well-deserved time off with family.

“I think part of just holidays in general when mostly there’s nowhere to go, everything is shut down so you’re like forced to finally like… ‘you have to be a family and hang in this house,’” says TJ. “Particularly as of late with John and I traveling a lot, we don’t get a lot of family time at all. And so, as time goes on, I really value that more and more.”

Spending time with their family will be a welcome recharge as the duo plan to spend much of 2019 out on the road for their own headlining tour. The trek, featuring Ruston Kelly, Devon Gilfillian and Lucie Silvas, will run through April.
