The star was born on December 25 and she admitted her family didn't have a massive amount of money and that was the inspiration for her new album, A Christmas Cornucopia.
According to The Daily Record newspaper, she said: 'My mother was a good traditional cook and she would always cook a great Christmas dinner. Because my birthday was on Christmas Day, I did usually get two presents.
'Every present I got I was hugely grateful for. Kids today open a present and are on to the next one and then the next one.
'It was a less consumerist time and they couldn't make ends meet, so if you got something you really valued it.'
