KENNY CHESNEY'S XMAS BREAK

Kenny Chesney has certainly had a good year - he was part of the George Strait Tour, he had a No. 1 record and he saw his Everywhere We Go album reach double-platinum. Now he's looking to cap off 2000 with much-deserved break.

"This year has been the most exhausting, most wonderful of my career," Kenny recently told a reporter, but with all the time on the road, he feels the need to get reacquainted with his friends and family.

"That's what Christmas means to me now," he says. "I get to go home and hang out with them and get fat for a month and not watch what I eat."
