What is your favorite Christmas memory?
Sitting at my grandmother’s with our entire family on my dad’s side all together, each of us taking turns opening one present at a time. Just being there, laughing at each other, and half the gifts were gag gifts so everybody was just cracking up. That’s my favorite.
What is your favorite gift you have received or given?
My L.L.Bean backpack that my mother-in-law got me. She didn’t always give me cool gifts, but that one was very cool. My favorite gift I gave was a big picture. My mom was legally blind, and for senior pictures I got her a really big picture so she could see it.
What is a Christmas tradition you have?
Since my parents have both passed away and my husband’s parents have both passed away, we do Christmas Eve at my family’s house and we do Christmas Day with his family.
