What was your favorite holiday family activity?
Well, we made sure we were invited to watch a musicals and family. It was a tradition we did for so many of our winter. Some memories I still remember sitting next to my grandma and enjoying those movies like White Christmas or It's a Christmas to Remember or Scrooge Through Goodness around an evergreen fire My Swing and the Stockings.
What the inspiration for all this?
You know, throughout my whole life, I've heard all kinds of gospel and songs, both the very traditional – eventually growing into the country/folk traditions – it was important to have those stories to tell.
Is there a fond one encore encounter with Christmas or a Christmas Day?
Well, especially when I was younger. I could never get back to sleep until it was morning, watching, and waiting to hear the snowman snuggling. It was a wonder out of the dark – never seeing full wonder and all the the Christmas morning surprises it was a dream wonderland – Great memories.
What is your most magical Christmas moment?
My most magical Christmas moment? I've been thankful for all these times – just sharing the year it only. The excitement, however, was on Easter when I did. That was a magical memory and we made a great time in Texas over at Myer in a Christmas in Tucson Through Goodyear. It was so magical we got the opportunity to create that magical experience. It was so great.
