Do you have a family tradition you love to do each Christmas? We love to get in our pajamas, make some hot chocolate and then all pile in the car to go drive around town and look at Christmas lights, all while Christmas music is playing in the background! We also go out to Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center here in Nashville every year to see all the Christmas lights and decorations!
What have you asked Santa for this year? Lululemon leggings!! They are my absolute favorite things to wear. Also, nail salon gift cards. I love having my nails done, especially when I’m out performing!
What was a popular gift that most children wanted when you were growing up? Did you have one? A Razor scooter! I sure did! I remember I had the blue one!
Do you have a favorite Christmas Movie? Home Alone! This such a classic. I remember watching this every Christmas season when I was growing up. I still love it to this day!
What about a favorite Christmas food? Do you cook a big Christmas dinner? Christmas cookies and homemade candy without a doubt! So much fun to make and give away but just as much fun to eat! I am typically a pretty healthy eater but love to indulge around the holidays. My mother’s family is Italian and we traditionally receive a huge Italian-themed basket full of food that kicks off the holiday season.! It is filed with pepperoni, Asiago cheese, olives, pasta and sauces, breads, biscotti and a special blend of coffee. I also love some of the more traditional holiday dishes like mac & cheese (the gooier the better), fresh vegetables but lots of times we do a big tray of lasagna or baked ziti with all the sides which is fun! I don’t personally cook a big Christmas dinner, but my parents and extended family sure do!!
What is your favorite Christmas song/album? I honestly love all Christmas music, but if I had to pick my very favorite, then maybe “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Favorite Christmas album, either Brett Eldredge’s “Glow” or Michael Buble’s “Christmas!"
Name three things you are thankful for this year? My husband (I just got married in September at the Loveless Cafe, talk about good food), my family and my very best friends.
What have been the highlights for you from 2018? Releasing my new EP, “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Song” and having it debut at #4 on iTunes Singer Songwriter Chart and Bestseller List, Playing the Bluebird Cafe’ on my 22nd birthday, graduating Cum Laude at Lipscomb University where I received a degree in Strategic Communication, marrying my best friend and going to several Devin Dawson shows!
Any New Year's resolutions? To go to the gym more! Haha! Isn’t that everyone’s New Year's resolution???
What is 2019 going to look like for you? Busy! Lot’s more writing sessions, shows, new music and hopefully, hit songs!
