“One year I tried to figure out — it was about fifth or sixth grade, I think I was startin’ to…oh no, it was third or fourth grade — I was startin’ to get the hint that maybe there wasn’t a Santa Claus…which there is, by the way. But I wanted to prove it once and for all, so I stuck a tape recorder, pressed record, stuck it behind the Christmas tree, and left it on hoping that I would hear whoever was gonna place those presents there…and I forgot to plug it in.”

“I actually got my first guitar as a Christmas gift.  So, that’s one that’s always going to stand out in my mind as a gift that, you know, I picked up and was like so excited to have. And, then realized it was going to take me a really long time to learn to play it.  But, it’s obviously brought me a lot of joy over the years being able to sit down and kick up and instrument and just, uh, sing and play. So, that was pretty special.”

“I love, love, love holidays. I mean, just, it’s my time to really be a girl. And I grew up, you know, with all the decorations and cookin’, and I get really domestic during holidays. And it’s kind of weird ’cause it’s so opposite of who I am on stage. But I love to bake cookies and cook dinner for the whole family, and I have every decoration you can think of. I like to have a tree in every room, and I mean, I really…that’s my time to just get ultra-girly, and I love holidays. And also it’s my time off usually, because there’s not really a lot going on during holidays, and so I really get to spend time with people I really care about.”

“Well, Maren and I, for that last 2 years, have done this thing where we have to watch 10 Christmas movies, right.  And, we each put a few on there. And uh, we always watch ‘Elf’ first. So we’ve watched ‘Elf,’ but ‘Home Alone’ to me is the best Christmas movie. ‘Home Alone’ 1 and 2. The sequel’s better.  I don’t know like- there’s not a ton of like movies where the sequel is better then the original, but ‘Home Alone 2’ is absolutely quintessentially amazing as far as Christmas movies go.  So, I love Christmas with Maren.  It’s so fun.  We have light all over our kitchen. We’re a bit of the Griswolds on our block.  Like, our light go up first.  We have way more than everybody else and like we have decorations all over the inside of our house.  We really-like enjoy this time of year and love having everybody over.  It’s really something we look forward to.”
