7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: Christmas at grandma and grandpa’s…One tree for the people, and always a separate one for the pets, homemade candy, people sleeping everywhere on pallets, eggnog, hot chocolate, a beautiful Christmas table (willow ware china, white porcelain gravy boat, jelly in small crystal bowls, Silverware polished and gleaming), Christmas music in the background (Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Wayne Newton), grandpa’s booming voice and laughter as he ‘played Santa’ passing out gifts, lots of flashbulbs going off, Polaroid pictures drying on the mantel.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? The first Christmas after my parents divorced…dad drove 150 miles, in a snowstorm to see us for a couple of hours (at grandma and grandpa’s house) on Christmas Eve.
