My husband and kids... cooking, listening to music.
Favorite color(s)? Green, blue, yellow.

If not socks then what? (tell us about your favorite knits) I almost knit everything... sweaters, dresses, toys, hats, you name it.

Baking, sending cheers, give the family a warm feeling, and keeping the secrets of gifts for everyone.

The gift of love. And my children.

What is your favorite Christmas dish? It differs, but usually I enjoy turkey,a good salad, a nice dessert.
Carolers are at your door. What do you do?
I wish there were... it never happens here. I would enjoy hearing them sing and offer them something warm to drink.
