We're days away from Christmas. Kids have sent off their Christmas lists and hoping Santa brings them everything on it.
For those of us here at Elvis Presley's Graceland, you could say that it's Christmas for us every day. Why? Why, we get to see all of you, of course, and Elvis fans are exactly what we want for Christmas!
We love seeing your smiling faces at Graceland, and we're so thankful you choose to spend your time with us, whether it's just for a quick tour, for an all-day adventure, to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or to join us for a special event, like Elvis Week. Thank you, thank you very much for visiting the king's castle!
For this week's blog, we've collected some of our favorite guest photos that were posted to Instagram in 2016. There are many, many more - in fact, you can see our fan photos of the day daily on Graceland.com - so these are just a few of our faves. And remember - we have a lot of changes coming in 2017, so we'd love to see you back here at Graceland next year, complete with more photos and selfies. Want us to see your photo? Be sure to use the hashtag #Graceland, and be on the lookout for special events-related hashtags we'll use throughout the year. (Speaking of Instagram, you do follow us on there, right?)
Some of our favorite photos include the King of Rock 'n' Roll himself. You can't come to Graceland without snapping a photo of yourself and the king!
Did you know we actually have a designated area to take an #ElvisSelfie? It's right inside the I Shot Elvis photography exhibit. We love this one by eiramylime.
Another popular location for selfies and photos at Graceland is, of course, the blue Graceland sign.
One of the most photogenic areas at Graceland is the famous Graceland wall, full of love notes to Elvis from fans all over the world. In fact, many of these fans' photos look like they could be featured in a fashion magazine.
This girl right here is a star in her own right. She's Kyndall Harris, a Memphis native and dancer who has appeared on Janet Jackson's "Unbreakable" world tour and shows like "America's Got Talent" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." We love this photo she snapped here at the king's castle. She's on Instagram as kyndallharris.
If you go anywhere really cool, you have to take a photo to prove you were there, right? Right. The cool thing about Graceland is that there's no other place like it, so whether you snap a selfie in the Jungle Room, with one of Elvis' cars or in Elvis' backyard, your photo is totally one of a kind.
TYTYVM for making our 2016 so sweet, Elvis fans!
Remember - follow us on Instagram, post your Graceland selfies and tag us with #Graceland, and we'll see you in 2017!
