Christmas is her favorite holiday and "the absolute best time of the year." Every year, she begins decorating for Christmas as soon as possible. Some may say she starts a little too early, but she would respectfully disagree.

She loves playing golf in her free time.

She could eat a turkey sandwich and potato chips every day and never get tired of it.
