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.
