And when the news came, Todd changed everything with regard to their last holiday before prison. Keep reading for all the details.
Todd Chrisley – Flipped Holiday Switch To Off
Chrisley Knows Best patriarch and matriarch Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley received their combined prison sentences of 19 years on November 22, 2022. And the news made Todd and Julie change all their plans for Thanksgiving 2022, according to People.
But Todd’s daughter Lindsie Chrisley revealed that he felt especially strongly about avoiding outsiders amid the prison sentence bombshell. “We had no idea what was gonna happen for the holidays,” shared the 34-year-old. “But the general plan was that we were all going to be in Tennessee at my parents’ house.”
However, “once the sentencing came down, my parents wanted no one in their home. I completely understand, your world has just been rocked,” pointed out Lindsie. “And the last thing I would want to be doing is entertaining anyone.”

Lindsie Chrisley – Gets ‘Overwhelmed’
As a result of Todd’s cancellation, Lindsie needed to come up with a new plan for Thanksgiving. But first, she received a surprise. “Next day, my biological mom shows up in my driveway. It’s just me, her and [my son] Jackson at my house,” she recalled.
And Lindsie shared that her mother Teresa Terry’s appearance “ended up being good. Because I didn’t feel like I had to be alone,” she explained. “And Jackson had someone to play with if I wanted to be in my sad girl era. So that part was good. But I just feel like I was so overwhelmed. Didn’t know what to expect or what to do. “
And in the end, the family headed out to dinner. “I will not lie to you guys, I did not think the food was great at Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving,” admitted Lindsie. “I think I had the experience you had where you’re used to one thing and you have something else, it just doesn’t feel like home … it was just a very nontraditional Thanksgiving.”
Todd Chrisley – Maintains Innocence

Both Chrisley Knows Best stars Todd, 54, and Julie, 50, still claim that they remain innocent of the alleged crimes. But they received lengthy sentences for their alleged bank fraud and tax evasion.
First Todd received a sentence of 12 years in prison. And then Julie received a sentence of seven years behind bars.
However, in September, the Federal Bureau of Prisons shortened their sentences. And Todd will receive his release almost two years earlier than the original date.
But Julie’s release date got shortened by only 14 months. And both still must serve 16 months of probation after they complete their prison sentences.
Meanwhile, Todd’s and Julie’s sons Chase Chrisley and Grayson Chrisley and daughter Savannah Chrisley will need to make their Thanksgiving plans this year with their parents behind bars.
But both Savannah and Chase continue to proclaim their parents’ innocence. Thus far, Todd and Julie have served nearly 10 months of their sentences.

I think Todd and Julie should be released. There’s folks out there have done far worse and don’t get that much time. I personally think it’s rediculious . Look at our corrupt president and his son there getting by with god only knows what. Prayers for y’all love the family. God bless you.
I gotta stamp my approval on this, Debbie. I’ve counseled way too many people that were recently released from prison & wonder who in the world let them loose. The Chrisleys are not violent offenders. It is open knowledge that the court wanted to make an example of them, giving them such harsh sentences. It is sick & sad that these people are incarcerated & murderers, rapists, drug lords, & politicians that have blatantly abused their power- hurting others- roam free to offend again.
Hopefully their March 2024 Court of Appeals appearance will overturn this huge mess that they shouldn’t be incarcerated in the first place.
I feel the same way! Our past president has done far worse things! Free Todd and Julie, make them payback what they owe….if they do. ( if its not paid…then maybe prison time) I feel the Judge was pretty harsh.
Trump can do what he wants and say what he wants in court…. why isnt he thrown out and be beld incontemp???
Oh no, I say suck it up buttercup, you do the crime you do the time!
Maybe do a little research on the case first before you make that judgement call
This case is riddled with so much error and inconsistencies along with the fact that Todd’s business partner admitted to falsifying documents under Todd’s name but he got immunity. Do your research, the Georgia department of revenue and several of its employees and now former employees have proofs against them on the illegal measures they took against the Chrisleys and the more Todd called them out publicly on it the more damage they conjured up on the Chrisleys. Thank goodness in March the Court of Appeals will hear their pleading because the government in Georgia did some shady stuff against the Chrisleys and I believe they will be 200% exhonorated. They were not apologizing or taking a plea for something they stand firm on not doing.
