# What the holidays mean to me: Keisma Shannon

DLA Aviation Public Affairs

                RICHMOND, VA  –              
*During the month of December, DLA Aviation Public Affairs will be running a special series of stories titled “What the holidays mean to me.” The purpose is to spotlight members of the DLA Aviation workforce during the holidays. *

**Name:** Keisma Shannon

**Organization:** DLA Aviation at Warner Robbins

**What is your job title, and what do you do, specifically?** In my job as a customer support specialist, I assist in filling backorders for parts by locating parts at other depots or outside sources. I also prepare packages for emergency purchase or have the parts made.

**What do the holidays mean to you?**The holidays are a time for reflection and family. A time to get together and show one another how thankful we are. Not just gift giving, but fellowship and love. The holidays are also a time for sharing.

**What are your fondest holiday memories?**My fondest holiday memories are when my grandmother would be cooking dinner and singing at the same time; I was the taste tester. Just sitting in the kitchen listening to music and old stories warmed my heart.

**What is your favorite holiday tradition?**My favorite holiday tradition is getting together with my family on Christmas Eve, eating in our pajamas and exchanging gifts.

**Name your favorite holiday song and why it’s your favorite?**My favorite holiday song is “Mary, Did You Know*?*” the Pentatonix version, because it tells the story of the miracles of Jesus Christ.
