Keith Urban Is Welcoming The Christmas Season
Keith Urban loves this time of year when Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade has ended with Santa on the last float, signaling the start of the Christmas season. It’s time to see sparkling lights, hear holiday songs old and new, and await Santa’s arrival on Christmas morning.
Keith told us in a recent interview how he loves this time of year. He said, “The lights going up; the lights, the music, all of that, the house sort of transforming into Christmas. I love it. It’s sad when it all has to go away.”
A few years ago (2019), Urban released a special Christmas song and did a romantic music video for “I’ll Be Your Santa Tonight.”
He told us of the original song, “I wanted to write a song that could kind of just travel anywhere really, I guess, and be also about the sort of the romantic side of this particular Christmas Eve. The idea that this girl is about to have the bleakest Christmas ’cause there’s no, there’s too much fog, there’s no snow, her mom’s not going to be able to make it, her sister can’t come, it’s all going to be a complete mess. And the guy steps up and says it’s gonna happen. ‘I’ll bring the magic.'”
Keith and his family usually spend the holiday in his native Australia with extended family.

Urban has been all over the world: he was born in New Zealand and was raised in Australia. He came to America in the 1990s to become a country star and, as we know, he made his dreams come true.
While he’s lived in the Nashville area since 2001, he and his wife Nichole frequently travel to Paris, Europe, and countries all over the world just on vacation or sometimes when she or he has business there.
In a recent podcast with actor Rob Lowe, Keith shared a place that he has never been, and it’s on his bucket list. It’s something he’d like to do soon.
Urban told the Brat Pack actor, “I’d like to see the pyramids. I’ve been to the Wadi Rum [in Jordan], we’ve done that, but I haven’t been to Egypt. That’s on my bucket list.”
He added, “I keep thinking about the pyramids because every time you see something that’s an amazing thing, like Sydney Harbour Bridge, and go, ‘Can you believe they built this back in the 1930s, this thing?'”
“And then I go, ‘And then there’s the pyramids.’ I say it all the time about anything that I’m amazed at.”
