What is your favorite holiday movie?
My favorite Holiday movie is Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. Does that count?… I love It’s a Wonderful Life and Love Actually. But I adore Scrooged, which is the modern take on A Christmas Carol.
Eggnog – gross or delicious?
Totally delicious! But also, should never be served or sold before Thanksgiving. It marks the start of the holiday season for me.

Peace on earth, good will to all. I also would totally appreciate a bike. I don’t know how to ride, so it is time to learn!

What is the most important part of the holiday season for you?
We talk about it in the show, but the holiday season does feel like the only time when people “seem by one consent to open up their shut-up hearts freely.” The holiday season serves as a reminder to slow down a little, and show compassion to the people around us.
