CHARLIE DANIELS refuses to tour during Christmas because it's the "most special day of the year" for him.  And his wife is nuts about it too.  She puts up FIVE Christmas trees . . . one of them being a "cowboy tree".

Charlie Daniels is bringing holiday cheer to military families with the release of his new Christmas album, Hallelujah: It's Christmas Time Again. The album sells for $8.99 and is available exclusively at all Buffets, Inc., restaurants. Profits from the album will be donated to the Armed Services YMCA for Operation Outdoors, a camp program that assists the children of military personnel during deployment.
