While appearing on the Tuesday, Nov. 26 edition ofJimmy Kimmel Live!,Brooks, 62, opened up about what he and his wife, whohave been married for nearly two decades, will be doing for Thanksgiving.

“She does what we call a misfit Thanksgiving, Ms. Yearwood does, because we have a lot of people in that town that’s in for the industry only. Their families are somewhere else, so they’re alone on Thanksgiving, so she opens up her doors,” shared Brooks, explaining that they are expecting “20 to 25 people” at their home for the holiday.

Brooks also revealed the unique way Yearwood serves leftovers when asked about his “favorite item from the Thanksgiving menu.”

“What she does is she takes all the leftovers and puts them in one casserole, puts a biscuit top on it and bakes the casserole,” he said.

Brooks revealed to host Jimmy Kimmel that because of his residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, whichbegan in May 2023and isscheduled to run until early 2025, Christmas started early in their household.

“Mrs. Yearwood said we’re starting Christmas now, and that was about three weeks ago. She dug the Christmas tree out of the basement. It’s already up. We’re ready to go. We got Christmas music going,” he said.

After Brooks said that their Christmas decorations would not come down till his birthday, Feb. 7, he opened up about why he “can’t have enough Christmas in my life.”

“For me, [Christmas tree] ornaments are cool, but they gotta have a meaning to them. We always decorate with thethree girls. We’ve done that since we’ve known each other. So the three girls have three bells, and that’s the first thing that has to go on the tree,” said Brooks as he began to get visually emotional.

“I’m gonna start crying, sorry. That’s the first thing that goes on the tree, and that means it’s Christmas and that means it’s time to love one another and drop all this silly s— and just have some fun together,” continued Brooks.
