K: Aww…I am not going to say…everything I’ve ever gotten was with the sweetest intentions ;)
7. Any funny Christmas memories or stories?
K: Nothing really funny but I’m a sucker for Christmas and magic. Although I love Christmas so much it’s been even better since having kids. It’s always full of memories and my heart is always full. The kids like earning money from chores and purchasing a gift each for the donation bins. That’s something special we started doing and we love it.

M: My family has always done real Christmas trees!
K: Real…a little more messy, but love the smell :)

K: 1. Christmas Eve with the extended family, 2. Watching the Sound of Music with the fireplace going, Xmas tree lit up, and a glass of wine in hand! 3. Playing Kelly Clarkson, Michael Bublé, and Boney M on repeat!
10. Who has the funniest Christmas sweater?
M: The NFL has released some really awful ones this year for each team.. They really crack me up. (Go Giants!)
K: I tried last year and failed…seems like it’s always the people who do it unintentionally! Lol.
11. What is at the top of your Christmas list?
M: A Gibson SG!
K: Same thing that is on probably every musicians list…money! Haha no… I didn’t actually make a list but I really want a new tattoo so that might be a little gift to myself!
