We make it a BIG deal. Do you think you made it on Santa’s Naughty or Nice List? My husband would say naughty; my son would say nice – That’s
because my son wants presents and he knows he has to butter me up. JEN: Favorite Movie: Elf Favorite Treat: Frosted Sugar Cookies Favorite Activity: Skiing – cross country or downhill! Do you think you made it on Santa’s Naughty or Nice List? Nice – Totally!
