THE HOLIDAY INTERVIEW

ANGI: What’s your favorite gift Santa ever left under the tree?

MICHELLE:  My favorite gift Santa ever left under the tree was the Nutcracker which my eldest son was given for his third birthday. He had never seen the Nutcracker ballet before and my husband I took him to see the San Francisco Ballet’s version on Christmas Eve. He was desperate for his own Nutcracker but I told him and my husband (who got a very hard stare from me) that all the Nutcrackers were sold out. My son went back to my sister’s house where we were staying and sent a special note up the chimney, begging for his very own Nutcracker. No adult left the house and in any case by that time all the stores were shut.  In the morning, the Nutcracker was under the tree, much to everyone’s astonishment. For many years, when my children doubted, I would point to the Nutcracker and ask them to explain please how that  Nutcracker could have arrived.  

The fact I as a child had longed to have such a thing and had made a vow when I was about nine that my children were not going to be similarly deprived was something I kept very quiet.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Holiday Movie?

MICHELLE: Christmas movies are my guilty pleasure. I really enjoy them. From the classic tales like A Christmas Carol to the more modern Hallmark movies (Channel 5 in the UK has started showing the Harlequin ones and I can get them on Amazon Prime as well. I would say my favorite movie has to be It’s aWonderful Life and I watch it every year.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Holiday cartoon special?

MICHELLE:  My favorite is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer closely followed by Stanta Claus is Coming to Town. I can remember watching them on Friday nights when I was growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I moved to the UK, I was surprised they weren’t a thing. So I made sure my children spent time in the US at Christmas time and were able to see these.

ANGI: Which Holiday film can you watch over and over without falling asleep?

MICHELLE:  A Christmas Carol – I love the story and re-read it every year as well. It is so wonderfully redemptive and of course, Dickens reshapes Christmas with it.

ANGI: What’s your favorite Holiday dessert you’d share with friends?

MICHELLE:  I love stollen, a German Christmas bread with marzipan running through it and make that every year. In the UK, the dessert you are most likely to encounter is the mince pie. They are bite sized and everywhere. They do not have meat in them btw and a concoction of dried fruit and liquor (and some sort of fat—normally suet but could be butter)  baked in a pie crust.

ANGI: What is your favorite Holiday tradition?

MICHELLE: My favorite Holiday tradition is decorating the house for Christmas, including trimming the tree. I love getting out all the old ornaments and decorations (including the Nutcracker!) and putting them up.

DEAR SANTA!  All I want for Christmas is…

MICHELLE:  my three children home for Christmas (my children tell me I am very boring for asking for this but until you are a mother, you don’t understand how lovely it is to have your 3 grown children home). Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of me and Santa. (Last one taken 1983 and given off to an ex-boyfriend)  Neither do I have pictures of the children with Santa – there was an unfortunate incident where my husband tried to take my daughter to get her photo taken when she was a toddler and…money ended being refunded and my husband resorted to bribery with a stuffed animal to stem her tears.
