<--- agrees with Nance to some extent about the tedium of Christmas traditions that leave everyone exhausted but, still misses the Christmases of her yoot
<--- was raised in a fairly strict Italian Catholic home steeped in traditions, both Catholic and Italian, and looks back on those times fondly
<--- says everything is different now that she is an orphan
