Lindsie Chrisley Says Holiday Season Will ‘Look a Lot Different’ After Parents Todd and Julie Chrisley’s Sentencing

Ringing in the holidays — in a “different” way. After Todd Chrisley and wife Julie Chrisley were sentenced to prison for multiple years following their fraud conviction, daughter Lindsie Chrisley understands their family holidays won’t be the same.

“In my family, we’ve always done Christmas very big and it’s always been a very exciting time of year,” Lindsie, 33, said during the Wednesday, November 30, episode of her “Southern Tea” podcast. “Our house was always decorated very magical, and my parents always were the best at Christmas. Obviously, with everything going on with my family, things look a lot different this year.”

While the South Carolina native — whom the 53-year-old Chrisley Knows Best patriarch shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry, along with son Kyle Chrisley — understands the normally jolly season will be difficult, she wants to put on a brave face for her son Jackson, 10, and younger siblings. (Todd and Julie, 49, share son Chase, 26, daughter Savannah, 25, son Grayson, 16, and received custody of Kyle’s daughter, Chloe, in 2019.)

“When you have children, I feel like even if you aren’t in the holiday spirit — and this really applies to any time in life, it can be a random Thursday — I feel like you kind of have to put a front in a sense like, ‘OK, everything’s good and everything’s happy and, like, we’re gonna have a good time and you have all these real-life things that are going on outside of that,’” Lindsie — who coparents Jackson with ex-husband Will Campbell — said on Wednesday. “I think about when you start seeing Christmas stuff in July. I hate a rushed feeling, but this year, I’m kind of OK with it. I’m like, ‘You know what, I’m kind of ready for it to all be over. I’m ready for it to be a new year.’”
