Graceland was just voted the Best Holiday Historic Home Tour for the eighth year in a row!

Graceland, settled in Memphis, Tennessee, served as Elvis Presley’s home before he passed in August 1977. The mansion sits on 13.8 acres and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

The property is now a museum and tourist attraction, and remains one of the most visited private homes in the United States.

Graceland is operated by Elvis Presley Enterprises and displays a collection of his cars, costumes, records and Elvis’ gravesite.

Graceland Christmas – A Festive Annual Tradition

Graceland Christmas happens every year and brings Elvis’ love of the Christmas season to life with festive decorations, tours, concerts and plenty of special events.

The grounds are beautifully decorated with hundreds of blue Christmas lights lining the driveway and even a life‑size nativity scene. Children are also welcomed by Santa and his large sleigh.

Inside the mansion are red velvet drapes, Christmas trees, poinsettias, and Presley family holiday artifacts that reflect Elvis’ own Christmas traditions.

According to the Graceland website, Elvis was notorious for putting up his decorations in late November and leaving them up through his birthday in January.
