The Bee Gee 5 p.m. on HBO East Movie: The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart Filmmaker Frank Marshall (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) explores the triumphs and challenges of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb in their phenomenal joint music career as The Bee Gees. After finding success in the 1960s, the trio enjoyed a meteoric rise, writing more than 1,000 songs, including 20 number-one hits.

In addition to copious archival footage, the feature-length documentary includes interviews with Eric Clapton, Noel Gallagher, Nick Jonas, Justin Timberlake, Chris Martin and pop icon Lulu, Maurice Gibb’s ex-wife.

8 p.m. on HALLMARK Movie: Love, Lights, Hanukkah!

As restaurant owner Christina (Mia Kirschner) gets her business ready for the busiest time of year, during the Christmas holidays, she receives the results of a DNA test she almost forgot that she had taken in all the excitement of the season.

The genetic report contains a big surprise about her genetic heritage — she’s Jewish — and that discovery eventually leads Christina to a new family and an unlikely romance that unfolds over eight nights. Ben Savage and Marilu Henner also star in this 2020 drama.

Priscilla Quintana 7 p.m. on PARMT Movie: Dashing in December Peter Porte (“Baby Daddy”) stars in this 2020 drama as work-obsessed New York financier Wyatt Burwall, who flies home for the Christmas holidays partly to try convincing his mother, Deb (Andie MacDowell), that it’s time to sell their family’s Colorado ranch. Deb is reluctant to agree, given the warm memories she has for the property, which also includes a Winter Wonderland attraction beloved by the locals. An unexpected romance with new ranch hand Heath Ramos (Juan Pablo Di Pace) may help change Wyatt’s mind, however. Caroline Harris and Carlos Sanz co-star.

8 p.m. on KGET2 Pandora Jax (Priscilla Quintana) races to save the universe from complete destruction before the Ancients can render their final judgment in the Season 2 finale, “I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know.” Meanwhile, Xander (Oliver Dench) pursues his own plans for redemption.

Ben Radcliffe, Noah Huntley, Akshay Kumar, Tina Casciani and Vikash Bhai also star.

8 p.m. on LIFETIME Movie: A Sugar & Spice Holiday Suzy (Jacky Lai), a rising young architect, returns to her rustic Maine hometown to spend the Christmas holidays with her Chinese-American parents Pete and Mimi, who run a popular local lobster bar.

Her beloved grandmother, a celebrated baker in the community, died recently, and Suzy’s parents pressure her to enter the town’s gingerbread house competition in her memory. She teams up with Billy, an old high school friend, for the contest in this 2020 comedy. Tony Giroux and Tzi Ma also star.

Harriet Slater and Jack Bannon star in “Pennyworth,” premiering its second season Sunday on EPIX.

London is falling as EPIX’s ‘Pennyworth’ opens Season 2 Fans of “Pennyworth” may notice a difference in the clientele at The Delaney, the London nightclub where much of the action in the 1960s-set EPIX crime drama takes place, as its second season progresses.

That’s because social distancing regulations in the U.K., where the series is filmed, prohibits people from packing into enclosed spaces. So in episodes shot prior to the shutdown in March, the place was crowded; but afterward, not so much as fewer extras could be used.

“Suddenly,” chuckles Jack Bannon, who plays the club’s proprietor and titular character Alfred Pennyworth, “Alfred’s nightclub perhaps isn’t as popular as it once was because it’s post-COVID time, so there’s only about 20 people in there. So what that meant was, we had to play to our strengths or we had to get good at what we were allowed to do. And that meant that it became much more dialog-driven. ... If there are any positives to be taken from this awful time, this was probably one of them.”

As the new season of the “Batman” prequel commences Sunday, Dec. 13, England is in the midst of a bloody civil war, with the neo-fascist Raven Union led by Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) threatening to take control of the entire country. One of the remaining pockets of resistance lies in the West End Neutral Zone and The Delaney, where Pennyworth and his SAS comrades Deon “Bazza” Bashford (Hainsley Lloyd Bennett) and Wallace “Daveboy” MacDougal (Ryan Fletcher) are looking for a way out before the city and country fall. And their prospective landing point is America, where “Batman” fans know Pennyworth will eventually go to work as a butler for Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and the Wayne family.

The new round elevates Sandra Onslow (Harriet Walker), a ‘60s starlet and Alfie’s on-again-off-again girlfriend, to series regular, and introduces several new characters, among them Gulliver Troy, played by James Purefoy (“Hap and Leonard,” “George and the Dragon”). A former Army comrade, Troy agrees to go to work for Pennyworth to provide some added muscle for his various business interests.

“He’s kind of like a father figure but also a friend,” Bannon explains. “I think Alfred reminds Troy of him when he was younger and Alfie kind of looks to Troy as potentially where he’s headed in life but very quickly realizes that actually is not where he wants to be going. But it’s a brilliantly crafted relationship and James Purefoy was a fantastic addition to the cast. He’s a lot of fun. ... And yeah, I learned loads from him. He’s brilliant.”

Richard Thomas gets backing from the Tabernacle Choir on PBS

Solution on page 18.

Matt Cornett

OF ‘HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE HOLIDAY SPECIAL’ ON DISNEY+ How long ago did you do the Christmas special?

Richard Thomas

Doing a Christmas special in summer in Los Angeles had to be a bit surreal, no?

Yeah, I mean I don’t think it was quite as crazy as Sofia’s (Wylie) Christmas in the Arizona desert.

I think she was doing hers – I believe it was like in the triple digits. I think she was like well into a hundred degrees in the middle of the desert shooting her stuff at like 6 a.m. So I give mad props to her and the crew that pulled that off because her number looks fantastic.

But no, it was really, really fun. Interesting to have Christmas stuff in the middle of summer. It was fun though. I love Christmas and I love the holidays and I could be down to have holiday stuff all year round.

Do you get to go home to Arkansas for the holidays and do you see snow?

Oh my gosh, yeah. So not nearly as much as here in Utah (the series is shot in Salt Lake City) but that’s the cool thing about Arkansas, is like I got to grow up in a place that gets like all four seasons. So in your summertime, you are really hot and humid and in your wintertimes you’re really cold, dry and snowy, so it’s amazing.

11

But yeah, I get to go home every year to see my family. Knock on wood, I’ve never missed a holiday with my family so hopefully with the pandemic and everything going on, with shooting and everything, hopefully I get to continue that tradition and go home and see the family for the holidays.

The Bakersfield Californian

The latest “Christmas With the Tabernacle Choir” was recorded a year ago, prepandemic, which explains the audience shown filling the huge Temple Square performance space. “To do this with Kelli was such a perfect combination,” Thomas reasons. “I’ve known her and her family for years, and I’m a huge fan of hers.

“I’ve done similar kinds of things, and with this, they try to personalize it as much as possible,” adds Thomas. “They pick a theme, they think of who they might invite to represent that as a reader and as a singer, then you have meetings about your own family background. Having spent so much time in Kentucky growing up, that’s why I had such an affinity for John-Boy (Walton).”

While “The Waltons” remains available to viewers (now on Hallmark Drama), Thomas is enjoying the current phase of his career that has taken him into such series as “The Americans” and “Billions.” He muses, “As a child actor, I played lots of youthful psychos, so it’s nice to be able to bring some of that gravitas in front of the cameras now.”

Thursday, December 10, 2020

It’s a long way from the simplicity of the Waltons’ house to the majesty of Salt Lake City’s Temple Square for Richard Thomas.

The Emmy-winning talent joins one of the world’s most celebrated vocal groups as PBS televises the latest annual “Christmas With the Tabernacle Choir” special Monday, Dec. 14 (check local listings). While Thomas contributes a performance of the story “Christmas Day in the Morning,” the musical guest is Tony Award recipient Kelli O’Hara. (A longer version of the program premieres Thursday, Dec. 17, on BYUtv.) “It’s not like any other experience I’ve had,” the friendly Thomas confirms. “That concert in that hall is kind of like the Grand Canyon of performing. It’s great, for so many reasons. They bring in guest stars, but it’s a 100-percent volunteer event, and it’s really humbling and deeply inspiring to witness the motivation behind all of it. And people aren’t charged admission; they just have to make sure to get their reservations in. I mean, that’s 21,000 people.”

Oh gosh, we shot the Christmas special – I don’t even remember. Was that summertime? I think it was summertime. Gosh, I feel like everything this year is just one big blur. It’s so weird. This has been the quickest but shortest year of my life.

“The Surgeon’s Cut”

Specialty areas featured here include neurosurgery, transplant surgery, fetal medicine and cardiology. (ORIGINAL)

“48 HRS.”

“Beverly Hills Cop”

“Movie: Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”

“Movie: Giving Voice”

This documentary from directors James D. Stern (“All the Rage”) and Fernando Villena (“Any One of Us”) follows six students as they advance through the high-stakes August Wilson Monologue Competition, a celebration of the late playwright’s work. Viola Davis (also an executive producer here) and Denzel Washington are among those discussing the impact Wilson had on their careers.

(ORIGINAL)

“Tiny Pretty Things”

Michael MacLennan (“Bletchley Circle: San Francisco,” “Queer as Folk”) is among the creative forces behind this drama series that follows the rise and fall of young adults at Chicago’s only elite school for ballet. Lauren Holly, Casimere Jollette, Brennan Clost, Daniela Norman and Kylie Jefferson head the cast. (ORIGINAL)

Chadwick Boseman made his final performance in this drama about the titular iconic blues singer (Viola Davis, “How to Get Away With Murder”) and the social and racial tensions between her, her band and her white managers and producers that surfaced during a recording session in 1927 Chicago. George C. Wolfe (“You’re Not You”) directs a cast that also includes Glynn Turman and Colman Domingo. (ORIGINAL)

BEST EDDIE MURPHY MOVIES “48 HRS.” (1982) From the moment he’s first seen in a jail cell – crooning The Police’s “Roxanne” at the top of his lungs, as a convict sprung by a weary cop (Nick Nolte) to help find a fugitive – it’s clear Murphy is making a huge leap from “Saturday Night Live” to the big screen.

“Trading Places” (1983) Terrific writing, casting and directing (by John Landis) aid Murphy and fellow “SNL” alum Dan Aykroyd in this modern “Prince and the Pauper” about a privileged stockbroker and a street hustler maneuvered into switching stations in life.

“Beverly Hills Cop” (1984) Murphy had it made in movies – for a while, anyway – after his undeniable star turn as Axel Foley, the fast-talking

Detroit police detective who invades Los Angeles to find a friend’s killer.

“Coming to America” (1988) As a pampered African prince who leaves home to find a bride in New York, Murphy is pure charm, assisted immensely by Arsenio Hall as his right-hand man.

Originally intended for theaters, a Murphy-starring sequel will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in March.

“Boomerang” (1992) This underrated effort to remake Murphy as a romantic lead casts him as a suave advertising man who falls for the assistant (Halle Berry) of his heartless new boss (Robin Givens).

“The Nutty Professor” (1996) If anyone was going to try to recapture the Jerry Lewis spirit of

multiple personalities, Murphy was the man for this remake, tackling no fewer than seven different roles.

“Doctor Dolittle” (1998) Another remake made it clear Murphy was no Rex Harrison, but he didn’t have to be as the updated medic who can talk to animals.

“Bowfinger” (1999) Murphy is in fine form as a movie star unwittingly used by a filmmaker who secretly shoots footage of him – and employs the actor’s look-alike sibling (Murphy, too, of course) when necessary.

“Shrek” (2001) In voice only, Murphy landed one of his biggest movie successes by speaking for Donkey in this fractured fantasy, for which he encored his work in three theatrical sequels and a couple of television specials.

Artists who use narrative to communicate personal and universal truths are the focus of the opening Season 12 episode of “Craft in America,” returning Friday on PBS (check local listings). Watch full length episodes and discover extras at www.pbs.org/show/craftin-america/

Van Dyke used hiatus periods from his self-named sitcom to do movie work that encompassed the screen version of “Bye Bye Birdie” and Walt Disney’s “Mary Poppins.” Among pictures he made later were “Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.,” “Never a Dull Moment,” “Divorce American Style,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “The Comic.” He also filmed the holiday crime comedy “Fitzwilly,” a seasonal staple on Turner Classic Movies (which shows it again Saturday, Dec. 19).

Though his “New Dick Van Dyke Show” wasn’t a big hit for the star in the early 1970s – and the same also went for his subsequent sketch show, “Van Dyke and Company” – “Diagnosis Murder” was a TV success for Van Dyke through much of the 1990s into the early 2000s, casting him as mysterysolving medic Mark Sloan.

Van Dyke has appeared in the “Night at the Museum” movies and made several “Murder 101” mysteries for Hallmark Channel. The father of four children (including fellow actor Barry) by his first wife, he is now in his second marriage.

Solution is on page 5

Richard Wayne “Dick” Van Dyke was born on Dec. 13, 1925 – yes, he turns 95 this week – in West Plains, Mo. His younger brother was the late actor Jerry Van Dyke. While attending school in Danville, Ill., Dick counted among his classmates entertainer Donald O’Connor and musician Bobby Short. Though he had considered becoming a clergyman, Dick turned to performing thanks to a school drama class.

During World War II, Van Dyke became a military radio announcer, then an entertainer in the Special Services.

Afterward, he was a radio performer and also an in-person entertainer in tandem with Phil Erickson, with whom he toured and did an early-1950s Atlanta television show.

Van Dyke’s early Broadway work included “Bye Bye Birdie” for which he earned a Tony Award. He also had a TV contract with CBS, serving as a morning-show host there before starting one of the medium’s ultimate comedy classics, the Carl Reiner-created “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Over five seasons, he played variety-show writer Rob Petrie and won three Emmy Awards for the role.

6 p.m. on HGTV Celebrity IOU Real estate and renovation experts Drew and Jonathan Scott help Hollywood A-listers demonstrate in a very tangible way their gratitude to individuals who have made a lasting impact on their lives in Season 2 of this moving reality series, which consists of four new episodes. In the season premiere, actress and singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel works with the Scott brothers to re-imagine a small home into a more spacious residence with an open-concept floor plan for her lifelong friend, a therapist and mother of two who always puts others before herself.

8 p.m. on KERO The Bachelorette Tonight’s new special episode, “The Men Tell All,” is a perennial fan favorite during any season of “The Bachelorette,” but this season’s crop of suitors likely will have even more to talk — and perhaps complain — about. Season 16 started in mid-October with single lady Clare Crawley, who stepped down after making a love match with former pro footballer Dale Moss early on.

Tayshia Adams is finishing out the season with the men remaining in the mix.

8 p.m. on KGET2 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2020 This highly anticipated annual music concert will be a virtual event this year, owing to the ongoing pandemic, but its exceptional roster of artists scheduled to perform should draw a big audience nonetheless. Among the scheduled performers announced at this writing for the 90-minute special are Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Shawn Mendes, Sam Smith and Lewis Capaldi, among many others still to be named.

The musicians will invite viewers to join them in the stars’ 1616 homes, lending this year’s concert a more intimate ambience.

Howard Rosenthal

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Howard Rosenthal proud to carry on the Mr. Food tradition Howard Rosenthal of the Mr. Food Test Kitchen has a long and loving relationship with the culinary arts.

Indeed, the Syracuse, N.Y.-area native, whose syndicated cooking segments appear on local news programs across the country, has been cooking since the age of 6, has a degree as a professional chef and has owned and operated a restaurant, a high-end catering service and an event management company.

Now as the chief operating officer and on-air identity of the Mr. Food brand, he loves what he does and endeavors to spread that passion to others.

“You know, I love food, I love making people smile and appreciate food,” he says. “And I think if you understand the foundation of what makes a great recipe, it’s easier to build upon that. So we try to simplify everything that we do. I mean, we’re known for quick and easy recipes with offthe-shelf ingredients and that’s something that hasn’t wavered from the beginning. I feel very fortunate that I had a very long career with Art.” Art is Art Ginsburg, who originated the Mr. Food segments in the late 1970s. A butcher, caterer and amateur thespian in the Albany, N.Y., area, Ginsburg parlayed an easygoing manner and an “anybody can do it” philosophy into a fullblown cottage industry, with his cooking vignettes appearing on more than 100 local TV stations.

Rosenthal met Ginsburg through Ginsburg’s daughter, who was a college classmate. During that time, he also worked weekends as a caterer

and eventually landed with the Mr. Food family.

After college, he opened his own restaurant and catering business, which he sold in the mid-1990s to become a partner with Mr. Food.

Rosenthal and Ginsburg became fast friends and traveled the world together to health expos, fairs and other public appearances. When Ginsburg died of pancreatic cancer in 2012, Rosenthal stepped right in – with no prior television experience.

But he made clear from the outset that he wasn’t Mr. Food but rather “Howard from the Mr. Food Test Kitchen.” And he wasn’t about to attempt Ginsburg’s signature mantra.

“The first time I had to get the ‘Oooh, it’s so good’ out,” Rosenthal recalls, “Art had a way of doing it, it was very sensual in the way that only Art could do it. And when I first did it, I felt kind of creepy doing it, like I might get arrested.”

As for what he’s proudest of with Mr. Food, Rosenthal says it’s simply continuing his good friend’s work.

“I know Art’s looking down smiling and that makes me very happy,” he says. “I mean, in today’s world between COVID and politics and all the other stuff that’s going on in the world, people are cooking more at home than they have in years, probably since our grandmothers, because they are at home more, they’re experimenting more, they’re not going to restaurants. So I love to see when people are amazed at how easy cooking can be and how rewarding and really bringing people around the table.”

Allen’s star rises in third season in Buffalo

Probably one of the more heartening stories of the 2020 season is the rise of the Buffalo Bills as a legitimate AFC force and with it, Josh Allen’s blossoming into an elite NFL quarterback.

Indeed, in his third year in the league, the 24-year-old native of Central California has broken out as a legitimate star, ranking in the top-10 in a slew of statistical passing categories (through 10 games), among them yards (2,871, first), completion percentage (68.4, eighth), touchdowns (21, sixth) and passer rating (103.2, eighth).

He’s also rushed for 279 yards (third among starting QBs) and five TDs (tied for third).

Furthermore, his play calling and decision making have been exceptional and he’s given the Bills a chance to win in all but two games. At this writing, he’s the chief reason why the Bills are atop

the AFC East and headed for their first divisional title since the 20th century.

But away from the numbers, Allen has proven himself to be a clutch performer. That was apparent in the Bills’ Week 10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, when he led a 12-play, 78-yard drive that culminated in an Allen-to-Stefon Diggs TD strike with 39 seconds remaining that gave the Bills a temporary 30-26 lead. That the Cards’ Kyler Murray managed to wipe that out with his own 43yard Hail Mary touchdown with two seconds left was deflating for the Bills and their fans. But they had to be thrilled with their young quarterback’s ability to rise to the occasion.

Allen and the Bills face perhaps their toughest test yet in 2020 when they play host to the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers in a game airing Sunday, Dec. 13, on NBC.

BY GEORGE DICKIE

“Movie: Valley Girl”

“Movie: Dirt Music”

Set to a 1980s punk rock soundtrack, this 2020 musical remake of the 1983 romantic comedy stars Jessica Rothe and Josh Whitehouse as teen lovers Julie and Randy, who stay together despite their differing backgrounds and opporition from their parents and friends. Jessie Ennis, Ashleigh Murray and Chloe Bennet are also in the cast for director Rachel Lee Goldenberg (“Unpregnant”).

One of the things Steven Strait loves most about playing his character of space frigate captain Jim Holden on “The Expanse” is his evolutionary arc.

In the first four seasons of the Amazon space drama, which returns for Season 5 Wednesday, Dec. 16, the New York-born and raised actor has seen his character grow from a naive, idealistic young man into a very good leader with his feet planted firmly on the ground, so to speak.

But as with any maturation process, there is usually suffering.

He’s seen the protomolecule builder civilization killed off, he’s been forced to make horrific decisions where there was no good outcome and those experiences have turned him into a realist. And Strait has gone along for the ride, moulding the character along the way.

“My goal with Holden,” Strait explains, “was to show the realistic evolution of a leader. You know, this is not a guy who is born to lead in the beginning. You know, he didn’t even want it. What he did have is an ethical core and he’s a deeply good person. And we see him over the years and over the seasons go through these really hard decisions and stumble quite a bit and have some pretty ugly moments because he’s overwhelmed, because he’s afraid that he’s not doing the right thing. And I wanted to show that.

From Down Under comes this 2019 crime drama set against the backdrop of Western Australia, about a woman (Kelly Macdonald, “Boardwalk Empire”) who falls in love with a mysterious loner (Garrett Hedlund, “Mudbound”) who’s haunted by a tragic accident from the past. David Wenham, Aaron Pedersen and Dan Wyllie are also in the cast for director Gregor Jordan (“Two Hands,” “Buffalo Soldiers”).

“You know, I think so often the hero arc in storytelling – there is no courage without fear – I wanted to show that with Holden,” he continues. “He’s become who everyone needs him to be because he has leapt into the void, so to speak. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t afraid. It’s just his sense of duty and his sense of values gave him no other choice within himself. ... By the time we see him at Season 5, (I want viewers to) understand why this man is capable of handling this responsibility, why he is sure in his decisions and confident enough to admit when he’s wrong at this point as well.”

Birthdate: March 23, 1986 Birthplace: New York (raised in Greenwich Village) Family ties: Married model Daria Zhemkova in 2019; parents are Jean and Richard Dyer Strait Education: Attended the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Black Nexus Acting Studio, both in New York Other TV credits: “Third Watch,” “Chase,” “Magic City,” “Revenge” Movie credits: “Sky High” (2005), “Undiscovered” (2006), “10,000 BC” (2008), “Stop-Loss” (2008), “City Island” (2009), “H.M.S.: White Coat” (TV, 2010), “After” (2012), “Sleeping With the Fishes” (2013), “Hot” (2016), “Life Like” (2019), “Here Awhile” (2019), “Spinning Gold” (forthcoming)

The distinctive voice behind Lifetime’s holiday-movie ads There’s a certain sound to the ads for this year’s many new Lifetime holiday movies.

And that sound is Nora King.

If you’ve watched the channel for more than a few minutes in recent weeks, you’ve undoubtedly heard the voiceover artist who manages to convey cheer, bemusement and irony all at once. It generates a “We all know why we’re here” effect, as devotees of the “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” franchise of seasonal stories and their familiar elements likely realize.

“They found me on a casting site or through my own site,” the pleasant King explains. “It was when the pandemic started, so I did some promo work for them for a scary-movie marathon, then they hit me up for Christmas! I personally don’t have cable, so I’m not hearing it myself. I do this from home, talking with people over the phone, so I’m kind of living in a bubble about it.”

Among still-to-come Lifetime holiday tales King is helping to promote: “A

Sugar & Spice Holiday” (Sunday, Dec. 13), with Jacky Lai as a woman trying to honor her late grandmother’s memory in a baking contest; and “Lonestar Christmas” (Monday, Dec. 14), casting Stephanie Bennett as a single mother who falls for a restaurateur (Marco Grazzini) while visiting her estranged father.

Also: “Christmas on the Menu” (Friday, Dec. 18), with Kim Shaw as a chef who’s the interest of a food critic; and “A Christmas Exchange” (Saturday, Dec. 19), featuring Laura Vandervoort as one of two people who trade residences, a move that sends her to England ... echoing the plot of the 2006 movie “The Holiday,” which Lifetime often shows.

King often hasn’t had finished versions of the films to watch in recording her pitches for them. “Some are more upbeat and joyful,” she allows, “but some of them are a little sappy ... which personally are my favorite ones. In the beginning, it was about tailoring the voice toward that ‘Christmas tone’ they were looking for.”

Jacky Lai OF ‘A SUGAR & SPICE HOLIDAY’ ON LIFETIME How do you feel about “A Sugar & Spice Holiday” having a strong Chinese-American influence both in front of and behind the cameras?

I think it’s such a gift – and long-awaited – that we’re finally being able to showcase different cultures and backgrounds, because we all celebrate Christmas and it brings everybody together. I love this movie.

The script does a really great job in exploring the traditions and the family dynamics of the Asian culture.

Every day I went on set, I couldn’t believe that this was happening and that I got to be a part of that. It’s incredible.

What are your own Christmas traditions?

My family didn’t start celebrating Christmas until I was 12. I just saw people in school celebrating it and I just thought, “How wonderful it would be if I just started planting gifts, getting my family to get in on the Christmas spirit.” So I was the first to buy gifts and set up this whole Christmas tradition, and it’s gotten bigger and bigger every year.

My parents actually hire a Mr. and Mrs. Claus to come into the house. All their friends and our family get together, and all of the adults meet in the garage, stuff their presents into the red bag ... and thats when Santa Claus knocks on the door. And that’s how gifts are dispersed, but it all started from me just buying whatever I could for people in the family, and they just loved it.

Do you have any special attire for Christmas, in years when you can attend holiday events?

I’m really big into big accessories. Like, I love (large) earrings. I’m loving plaids with some big jewelry, and just (things that are) comfy. Comfort is really big for me.
