Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I especially love getting together with family, having a big dinner, and just the whole vibe of it. And of course, presents are always a plus!

Best Piece of Advice

This advice, from my family and from life, is about being thankful for the good stuff you have and appreciating the positive things. I sometimes think we get too caught up in problems and worry too much, when we should really focus on the good more than the bad, and let go of what we can't control. That way, we can avoid getting too stressed out and concentrate on what's really important.
