The Best (Year-Round) Christmas Lights

  • Aside from Opryland's dazzling holiday display of electrical excess, the Christmas lights with the most colorful history can be seen, year-round, in Historic RCA Studio B, on Music Row (tel. 800/852-6437 or 615/416-2001; www.countrymusichalloffame.com). The modest building where Elvis Presley recorded more than 250 of his songs still has the red, blue, and green lights that were used during the sessions from one of Elvis's Christmas albums. The story goes that The King had trouble showing the holiday spirit while recording in July, so his crew put up an artificial Christmas tree and lights.
