Blake Shelton's kind of Christmas is one shared with friends -- and same goes for his approach to Christmas carols. Duets with Miranda Lambert ("Jingle Bell Rock"), Reba ("Oklahoma Christmas") Kelly Clarkson ("There's a New Kid in Town") and the Pistol Annies ("Blue Christmas") are the ones that'll immediately put you in the holiday mood. But two songs here steal the show: "Home," where Shelton is joined by Michael Bublé, and which has been reprised with new lyrics written just for Christmas; and "Time for Me to Come Home," a Shelton original written about -- and guest-starring -- his mother.
Blake Shelton vs. The Box
Behold what just might be our best-ever edition of The Box, wherein country superstar Blake Shelton answers your questions, at random, on camera, by pulling them out of, yes, a box. This is strange and wonderful: Salient quotes include "I don't give a crap about clowns," "I think my hair is the reason I'm so damn sexy," "Would you ever want me to punch you in the face?" and "Well, you gotta have beer." Just watch it, and then check out his appropriately titled new holiday album, Cheers, It's Christmas. Enjoy.
