I honor the special blessings of life, health, family and friends. This year due to COVID-19, the holidays are a little different, but I will not be dismayed. I may not be able to celebrate with my family and friends, but I celebrate in my heart with thankfulness and joy.

**What are your fondest holiday memories?**My fondest holiday memories would be participating in the Christmas plays at church starting when I was a teen.

**What is your favorite holiday tradition?**My favorite holiday traditions are decorating the house and tree, shopping for others and baking Christmas cookies.

**Name your favorite holiday song and why it’s your favorite.**My favorite holiday song is “Joy to the World” because it’s about the Savior’s birth.
