That Nashville Sound wishes early birthday wishes to longtime country music legends Barbara Mandrell & Steve Wariner- both of which celebrate their birthdays on Christmas Day.Barbara Ann Mandrell, who turns 60*, is best-known for a 1970s–1980s series of Top 10 hits and TV shows (1980-82) that helped her become one of country music's most successful female vocalists of the 1970s and 1980s.
She is the only female in country music history to win the Country Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year" award twice, and she has also won the Country Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" twice.
Steve Wariner (born Steven Noel Wariner), turns 54. He is one of Nashville's most celebrated guitarists and a great singer/songwriter. He was one of the most popular artists during the 1980s, thanks to a string of No. 1 singles recorded for both RCA and MCA Records. After his popularity waned somewhat during the mid-1990s, he enjoyed a resurgence thanks to his 1998 hit "Holes in the Floor of Heaven." He most recently appears on Brad Paisley's new mostly-instrumental album Play.

Barbara is indeed beautiful, but she will be 60 this year being born in 1948.
