Favorite Time of Year
Elvis Presley generously shared his wealth. He raised money for many charities, especially in the Memphis area. In 1963, he made a Christmas donation of $55,000 to Memphis charities.
Christmas was one of Elvis’ favorite times of the year because it gave him a chance to give to those he cared about. To show his appreciation, he once visited the local police station to thank them for working on Christmas Day.
Elvis’ home, Graceland, was always decorated for the season, and many guests were welcomed to his parties. The tree was usually set up in the Jungle Room with lots of gifts for the young Lisa Marie.
Elvis was known to give large gifts, such as cars, to family and strangers. In 1966, he gave Priscilla and one of his friends their own horses as Christmas gifts. He also had a sense of humor about his gift-giving. One year, he gave McDonald’s gift certificates as gag gifts before giving his friends their real, lavish presents.
Among Elvis’ favorite holiday traditions was playing piano and singing Christmas songs with his family and friends.
As one of the most popular entertainers of the time, Elvis received countless Christmas cards from fans, and personally read as many as he could. For many years, he sent cards back to his fans. His staff sent out about 250,000 Christmas cards during the 1961 holiday season alone.
Over the course of his career, Elvis recorded two Christmas albums, one in 1957 and one in 1971. The first, Elvis’ Christmas Album, spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. Selling over 13 million copies in the United States alone, it was the first of his albums to attain Diamond certification (for selling more than 10 million copies). It’s also one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time in the United States.
Christmas was truly a special time for Elvis. In addition to the season of giving, it was around Christmas in 1966 that Elvis proposed to Priscilla.
