It may only be July 11, but it seems as though Santa Claus is on his way for LeAnn Rimes fans. Yesterday (July 10), the country singer announced her plans for the One Christmas Tour this December, with a little help from the beach and some elves.
The video shows a little self-deprecating humor from Rimes, who sings the announcement to the tune of "The 12 Days Of Christmas" while lounging on the beach in a bikini and parka, despite the 80-degree weather.
Rimes then went on to sing her tour dates, also teasing a super-secret kick off in New York City, though details surrounding that event have yet to be revealed.
The video is cheesy and goofy, but even in summer we have to remember to keep the holiday spirit intact, which Rimes emphasized in a statement on her official website. "I love everything about the holidays," she said, "and want to share the magic and joy of the season with my fans. I look forward to playing some of my favorite Christmas classics for music lovers in an intimate, cozy setting."
