Remember when you were a kid, how exciting it was to have a birthday? That day was so special and all about you. When I was a kid, birthdays were simpler. All your friends would come to your house on Saturday morning or afternoon. You would play 'pin the tail on the donkey,'  hit the pinata and look forward to eating cake, which was homemade by your Mom, and ice cream. Oh, and of course the best part of your special day, opening the gifts.

Brantley Gilbert is heading to Tyler on November 12 to headline the 2011 Taste of Country Christmas Tour, but don't assume that the Georgia-born singer will carry on the holiday tradition a la Vince Gill and Amy Grant or John Berry. Gilbert is on the brink of stardom because his shows are as lively and rambunctious as anyone who headlines major arenas and amphitheaters right now. He's focused, emotional and honest.
