7. Favorite Holiday memory?
Walking into my playroom as a child to see a glowing dollhouse in the corner. It was Barbie sized and took up half the room, built from an overhead perspective. In fact, it was modeled after my childhood home, complete with working lights, stereos, an ice maker with little ice cubes in it, curtains and bed spreads made by my grandma. The whole house was built by hand by my grandpa and was AMAZING! He also built me a toy chest on stilts that I called my castle. I spent many a day in that castle, touching the ceiling with my toes and daydreaming!
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
A friend told me about the toothfairy, and I sadly put it all together. It was one whambang letdown--every holiday destroyed before my very eyes.

Not big on holiday desserts. If I had to pick, I'd say pumpkin pie.
