What is your favorite holiday movie or show and why?
A Christmas Story is by far my favorite ... "You'll shooot your eyeee outttt!" Need I say more?
What are the top three gifts you're asking for this holiday season and why?
I haven't really asked for much this time around. I like surprises. :)
Do you or your family have a special tradition for the holiday season?
On Christmas morning, my immediate family and I all wake up, go down to the tree, open gifts and then my mom makes us a delicious breakfast. After that, we lounge around, catch up with things, relax, take naps and later on that night we go over to my extended family's house and have a big dinner and do another gift exchange.
What member of your family gives you the most trouble finding gifts and why?
My mom, because whenever I ask what she wants she always says, "You don't have to get me anything, honey." ... She says this every time, without fail!

What is your first holiday memory?
It would have to be when I was about 14. That was the year my parents decided that we would have a real Christmas Tree in the house instead of the fake one we usually had. My mom and I went to pick the tree out. ...We brought a tree home that was so ridiculously big that it could barely fit into the house. I just remember how nice it was when the whole house was filled with that wonderful pine smell, and what a mess it was when it was time to get rid of the tree!!!!
What's your favorite holiday food or drink and why?
My favorite holiday drink would have to be egg nog ... the only time I drink it is around the holidays. It just has a really festive taste, if that makes any sense ... lol.
What are the top three gifts you're planning to give this holiday season? To whom and why?
I really don't have top gifts ... everybody's pretty much getting gift cards. It's kinda hard to go shopping when you only have six days on American soil :-(
If you could give one holiday gift to one of your Storm teammates, who and what would it be and why?
I would probably give Sue the Chi Blow Dryer. Sue takes her hair and her ponytail very seriously ... it's always perfect and I know she has a lot of Chi products. I've never seen her with the blow dryer, though. I tried it and it's awesome!!!!

What is your favorite holiday memory?
My favorite holiday memory is one Christmas my lil' sis, Katrina, and I woke up and it was so hot outside my mom let us wear shorts. We didn't have to stay cooped up in the house all day with the grown ups. We took all of our new toys outside and showed them off. Got to love winter in Texas.
What's your favorite holiday food or drink and why?
My favorite holiday food is my mom's potato salad because that's the only time she makes it. She knows to make plenty so I can have leftovers.
What are the top three gifts you're planning to give this holiday season? To whom and why?
1. I'm going to buy my lil' sister a "HOT" designer bag to wear on her arm when she goes out. She's a 22-year-old, first-year teacher, teaching Sign Language to juniors and seniors. She works really hard, so in her downtime I want her to be able to go out and enjoy being young. What better accessory than a Gucci bag?!?!
2. I'm taking my mom on a date to a Spa to get a massage, manicures and pedicures. Then, we'll go have a nice dinner. She doesn't get to do things like that a lot because she is always working, so a day of pampering is what she needs and deserves.
3. I always buy myself something nice; not sure what I will be buying myself this year!

I'll get back to you on this one ... .
