Favorite Holiday Tradition:

I am a HUGE nutcracker collector. I have been collecting them since I was seven and received my first one after watching The Nutcracker ballet. Each year, I add one “nice” nutcracker and inevitably a few more that I like – the collection is at over 120. My tradition is to display all my nutcrackers proudly and look forward to finding the right one to add to the collection (they all have meaning!).

It’s a Wonderful Life.
