It\u2019s the last episode of 2020, and I\u2019m breaking format today.\xa0 In this episode, I share some of my personal Christmas memories and traditions with you.\xa0 From church to cookies and more, here\u2019s a list of 8 things you will find in this episode.

  1. I was raised Lutheran, and Jesus is the reason for the season.\xa0
  2. Santa is magical, no matter how old you are.
  3. We usually get together Christmas Eve with my in-laws and sometime around Christmas with my Mom, Dad and siblings.\xa0
  4. I love Christmas movies.\xa0 Elf (starring Will Ferrell) and National Lampoon\u2019s Christmas Vacation are two favorites. \xa0
  5. Trans-Siberian Orchestra plays my all-time favorite Christmas music.
  6. I have a sweet tooth.\xa0 This year, I made honey-lemon cut-outs and gingerbread cut-outs.
  7. I love to read to my kids.\xa0 It\u2019s not Christmas in my house until I read The Sweet Smell of Christmas by Patricia Scarry.\xa0
  8. Going to the Lights before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo is a tradition!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!\xa0
