Rico:
What's your favorite Holiday tradition?


Nique :
My favorite Christmas tradition as a kid was that we always had to go to bed on Christmas Eve but then around midnight we would hear Santa and his reindeer up on the roof waking up us. We would hear stomping on the roof and bells ringing and we would know that Santa had arrived! We would get so excited! Unfortunately, I am too afraid of a second floor roof so Santa has had to leave other evidence for my kids.
