How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Does it differ from your usual traditions? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nTraditionally for me, the holidays always mean LOTS of time with friends and family. This year, I\u2019m scaling back on the parties, but plan to get together with my immediate fam to celebrate. For the friends and family that I won\u2019t get to see, I\u2019m sending out holiday cards \u2013 which gives me plenty of time to practice my calligraphy! Also, I can normally hold off, but 2020 is NOT the year to postpone joy. This year, my decorations went up November 1st because there are no rules this time around!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your favorite movies to watch during this season?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nGive me ALL the holiday movies!! This is my favorite time of year. I love putting on my Aerie PJs and snuggling up on the couch to watch movies all season long. My OG favorites: I can\u2019t go a Holiday season without watching National Lampoon\u2019s Christmas Vacation<\/em> & The Santa Clause<\/em> at least once! <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your must-have song (or songs) for a holiday playlist?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis might be the toughest question. I dug through my Spotify \u201cHoliday Playlist\u201d to pick my top 5! (I am that person blaring Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays<\/em> by N\u2019Sync well before Thanksgiving hits): <\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Celine Dion\u2019s entire album: These Are Special Times<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Michael Bubl\u00e9: \u201cBaby Please Come Home\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The Drifters: \u201cWhite Christmas\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Bruce Springsteen: \u201cSanta Clause is Coming to Town\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Mariah Carey: \u201cAll I Want For Christmas is You\u201d \u2013 it just wouldn\u2019t be a holiday playlist without Mariah hitting those high notes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is your favorite holiday memory?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nMany years ago, my parents got me a motorized Barbie Lamborghini \u2013 I was so excited that I tried to drive it in my living room with all my other toys shoved inside of it. I\u2019m pretty sure it broke then and there, and that I never got to actually use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More recently, my most cherished holiday memory has become returning to my parents’ house on Christmas Day with all my siblings. I\u2019m one of five, so getting all of us together can be quite the feat. It\u2019s always so special to me to share the memories of that day with my family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Does it differ from your usual <\/strong>traditions?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nEvery year I spend thanksgiving in Maryland with my mom, stepdad, sister, aunt, and cousins. This year we took extra precaution to make sure we were being safe to travel. Unfortunately, our table was missing my sister and cousins living in Denver and Florida but in this digital age \u2014 they sat in through FaceTime! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your favorite movies to watch during this season?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Grinch<\/em>, Elf<\/em>, The Holiday<\/em>, Home Alone<\/em> and Love Actually<\/em> (hence the answer to the next question). <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your must-have song (or songs) for a holiday playlist?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nMariah Carey, \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You.\u201d Honestly, I could play this on repeat from Thanksgiving to New Years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is your favorite holiday memory?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nA favorite holiday memory \u2014 the year my aunt found a recipe to cook the turkey in a bag and five hours later it was raw. We didn\u2019t eat until late but we have laughed about it ever since! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Does it differ from your usual traditions?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nI plan to go home to see my family for the holidays. Since I am working from home right now, I can go home for the whole week before Christmas. I\u2019ll be able to help my mom wrap presents and decorate. I\u2019m really hoping for a white Christmas so I can go snowboarding sometime over the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We typically celebrate the holidays by getting dressed up and throwing a big Christmas party with family and friends. There is always tons of good food and tons of different families there. This year, however, will be much more lowkey. The gathering will be small and hopefully, we will connect with everyone else virtually! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your favorite movies to watch during this season?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nI am a total sucker for any of the holiday Hallmark movies. I love that there are always new characters, but the same predictable plotline centering around romance, family, and holiday spirit. I\u2019ve also been loving the Netflix original holiday movies and shows, such as Holidate<\/em> and Dash & Lil<\/em>y<\/em>. They are super modern feel-good rom-coms that are perfect if you are looking for something new to watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your must-have song (or songs) for a holiday playlist?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nMy top 3 must-have songs on this year\u2019s holiday playlist are \u201cSanta Tell Me\u201d by Ariana Grande, \u201cSilent Night\u201d by Mariah Carey, and \u201cSanta\u2019s Coming for Us\u201d by Sia. Honestly, I\u2019m a big fan of most recent Christmas song covers as they add a modern twist to old favorites! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is your favorite holiday memory? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of my favorite holiday memories is probably going to see lights on the lake with a bunch of family and friends as a child. We would all get bundled up and bring hot chocolate to go on a horse-drawn carriage ride to look at all the lights on the lake. Afterwards, we\u2019d all go back to one house and play for hours. This memory holds a special place in my heart, as I\u2019m still so close to all those families even if our holiday traditions have changed a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nia Groce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Senior Copywriter<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow are you celebrating the holidays this year? Does it differ from your usual traditions?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nI usually try to see both of my parents over the holidays and this year I am hoping to do the same, which I feel extremely fortunate and blessed to be able to do! I\u2019m looking forward to playing a round of spades with my daddy and hopefully redeeming myself from the last time he crushed my boyfriend and me in a family-friendly game (lol!). Then, I\u2019m hoping to eat my favorite comfort foods and take corny-but-cute holiday pictures with my mama, siblings, and adorable nieces! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your favorite movies to watch during this season?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Home Alone<\/em> series has always been one of my favorites! The Preacher\u2019s Wife<\/em> is a classic. How <\/em>The<\/em> Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em> and so many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your must-have song (or songs) for a holiday playlist?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nMariah Carey Christmas on deck, of course! Haha! Boyz II Men\u2019s Christmas renditions are SO good and classic, it always makes me feel the spirit of the season. I also love The Temptations\u2019 take on Christmas songs (like Silent Night<\/em>), which make me think of my daddy and smile because he always enjoys their music during the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your favorite holiday memory?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are so many good ones, it\u2019s of course hard to pick one! But in general, I think playing with my nieces (I have six!) and watching them grow over the years into their unique little personalities has been an extra special aspect of the holidays for me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
