What are some of your favorite holiday traditions that you did while growing up?
The holidays were always very important in my family. Once of my favorite traditions was my momand dad telling me and my sister, and then making us believe that Santa Claus set up our Christmas tree. They would stay up all night, which watching Christmas Vacation on a loop, and set up the Christmas tree and all the decorationswhile we slept. Then we would wake up to the house decorated like a Winter Wonderland. It was such a magical experience and I hope that it is a tradition that I can do with my family one day (when that happens).
