What is your favorite Christmas memory?
It’s a long story. So when I was like four or five I shared a room with my sister and we had bunk beds. My mom was out in the living room wrapping presents, and I kept on yelling to her cause I could not sleep. She finally got done, and I went to her room and was laughing super hard – at I don’t even know what; we were making all kinds of jokes. I got all of us laughing . . . I heard footsteps out in the living room and I was, like, “Mom, Santa’s here.” I could hear him eating the cookies and I asked mom if I could go out to the living room and see if I had presents out there and the whole entire living room was full of presents. I went back to bed and couldn’t I sleep the rest of the night
