Cranberry Ice (A family Christmas-day tradition)
Favorite stocking stuffer?
Clay always gets creative! And also practical... usually includes my favorite chapstick. Yup. I look forward to chapstick. Definitely a grown up now. Ha
Favorite place to get Christmas presents?
Smile.Amazon.com -it's great. Pick a favorite charity and then order as usual. Amazon will then donate a portion of your total to the charity you picked. It's awesome!
Favorite New York City holiday spot?
I love seeing the Rockefeller tree every year. It reminds me of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Favorite Holiday Musical?
White Christmas!
Clay’s Favorites!
Favorite present you’ve ever received?
I remember several years where my parents would get me trips to NYC to see a Broadway show. Those would have to be my favorite gifts I got growing up- getting to be with my family in my favorite place AND seeing Broadway shows!? What could be better!? :)
Favorite holiday workout?
Dips. ..as in dipping Christmas cookies into a glass of milk
Favorite holiday dessert?
Christmas cookies. Any and all kinds.
Favorite holiday song?
As a kid I was obsessed with the song "When Christmas Comes to Town" from 'The Polar Express' and would sing it endlessly with my friend Kelly.
Favorite holiday karaoke song?
I remember getting a karaoke machine for Christmas as a kid. Singing any song, any time of day- mostly just to annoy my sister, making this gift, my sisters least favorite present I ever received. Thanks Santa ;)
Favorite holiday movie?
The Family Stone. Chris and I watch it every year
Favorite present you’ve given?
I don't remember exactly what I gave, but the first year I had a professional job and could afford to buy my parents something for Christmas brought me so much happiness. I not only could support myself, but I could also give a little something back to them.
Favorite holiday memory?
My neighbors, my sister and I would make giant "snow rockets" instead of the typical boring snow man (..which now thinking back, probably looked a little more PG-13 than intended. We would fill an empty refrigerator box with snow- and pack it in over 10 feet high.
Favorite holiday beverage?
Cranberry Ice. A Rice family tradition. ...now that I write it out, I will now be calling it "Cranberry (R)Ice" It's basically like a cranberry flavored snow-cone. A delicious palette cleanser.
Favorite stocking stuffer?
Socks! Every year, I get fun socks- always with food or dogs on them
Favorite place to get Christmas presents?
Online. (Amazon.com)
Favorite New York City holiday spot?
Last year, I went ice skating with my mom in Bryant Park and we just held each other up and smiled so big the entire time. another favorite holiday memory of mine
Favorite Holiday Musical?
The Radio City Rockette's Christmas Spectacular. It never fails to get me in the Holiday spirit.
