A Little Nashville Christmas Fun


Happy Holidays from Gaylord Opryland resort. What a great place to walk around with a camera and take some shots of the 2 million lights! (not sure I got them all, so I shot a couple more than once to make up…)





Don’t you love these big bag of lights over the trees? Not only do they light up, but when the leaves are ready to fall off… just think about it. Wish we’d done this to the maples at the inn. Could have saved us a lot of cleanup!



This is the old main entrance. Not too shabby an entrance even today.

Even when you get inside there are lights! More Christmas trees than you can shake a stick at, but I’m pretty sure they’d take your stick away when you came in the door. Security and all…


Dancing fountains in vivid colors. Looks a little like the Grinch got in on the fountain colors tonight, no?


I told you there were a lot of trees. Some aren’t even trees. They’re big tree shaped things made of potted plants. Go figure…


Oh, and there’s a big Christmas Show going on. You should check it out if you get the chance.



Hey, who’s taking the photos??? Sometimes, when you know you can’t be two places at once, you just have to get a little help. Thanks to Rusty Miller for shooting these from his cush seat in the audience, and he even got free dinner!


It’s good to be the King! But seriously, if it weren’t for Rhonda, Amanda, Jennifer and our incredible staff at Bluff Mountain Inn, I’d never get the chance to go back into musical mode and do shows like this. And if I didn’t do shows like this, they couldn’t come over and hang out during the holidays! It’s a win-win thing, and we’re lucky it works that way.

  • Amanda - Ab-fab my friend! This is my favorite blog so far, (and I have LOTS). Your awe-inspiring photos truly capture the energy of Nashville in December. Can’t wait to see it for myself!

  • Jamie Weiss - Hey Rick, we missed you last night!
    I have a dream though of being able to take my family to Nashville for Christmas. Everytime they show all of the stuff on TV, it looks so beautiful. It looks like a winter wonderland. Anyway, make I’ll make ther someday and I’ll get to come check out the show!
