{ Favorite holiday? }
Christmas
{ Favorite holiday memory? }
It is a memory that happens over and over every single year. Christmas Eve at my mom’s house with the whole family…and I mean “whole”! All the aunts, uncles, cousins, children, grandchildren etc. It is the best feeling to sit at one of the many tables and look to the left and to the right and see all of the people that I have loved all my life.
{ Best advice for holiday entertaining? }
Pre-prep everything as much as possible.
{ Favorite holiday recipe? }
Ma’s Apple Pie
{ Holiday party décor? }
I love candles and music to set the mood and lots of sparkly, glittery eye-catching decorations. (Shocking, right?! 
)
{ Gift giving advice? }
“Think it through”. I always try to think of something special that happened between me and the person during the year, and I try to give a gift that reminds them of that special time. For example, one of our Jewelry Buyer came to a Christmas party at my house and she loved my “Bliss Lights” that I used for decorating the front of my home. She just bought a house and invited me to a housewarming party – and I took her a Bliss light as a gift. She loved it!
{ Favorite Christmas song? }
The one about chestnuts roasting on an open fire….which one is that!??! Oh yeah – Nat King Cole sings it… “The Christmas Song”!
{ What’s on your wish list? }
#1 – Happiness, Fulfillment and Joy for my family
#2 – A nice BIG piece of BLING!!
{ When do you start decorating? }
At Thanksgiving, I put up my Bethlehem lights wreaths to make the house seem cozy and festive, but I don’t turn on the lights. To me Thanksgiving is warm and welcoming and Christmas is lights and sparkle.
{ Holiday attire? }
“Keep it Simple” Probably black head to toe with some sparkle and shine added – either with a cute sequin shell or I would use jewelry to elevate the look. Unless you are asking about Christmas Morning – then it is definitely PJ’s and slippers – ALL DAY!
{ Gifts: Give or receive? }
Give! I get so excited seeing the person’s reaction! And, as you all know, I am terrible at keeping secrets. For a long time now, I have allowed my kids 3 hints about their gift – and I LOVE driving them crazy with it until the 25th!!
{ Any holiday tradition? }
My family always does the “7 Fishes” for dinner. We also always go to Mass. And my kids know that every single Christmas morning they get a brand new pair of PJ’s and a photo album of our Summer Vacation photos.
{ I finish all my shopping.. }
the 24th! (Doesn’t everyone? )
