LK: I want to streamline my life this year so my plan is to give more than I get. I\u2019m asking for donations to my favorite charitable organizations (below) in lieu of gifts from family and friends.<\/p>\n

Tibetan Home of Hope
\nAlpha Workshops
\nASPCA<\/p>\n

Z: What\u2019s your favorite holiday indulgence or \u201cguilty pleasure\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LK: My favorite family tradition is wearing ridiculous holiday hats at Christmas dinner. My family started this tradition in the early 90s and now each year we look forward to wearing a new hat, looking silly and laughing together at the holiday table.<\/p>\n

Z: What are some things you like to do to your home or apartment to make it feel like the holidays?<\/strong><\/p>\n

LK: My favorite holiday tradition is having pine and fresh lilies in the house. When it\u2019s cold and gray, it\u2019s fantastic to have something colorful and alive around! I love to place an arranged wreath of flowers and pine on my front door. It\u2019s a beautiful daily reminder of the season and a fragrant welcome home after a long day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
