"I love all holidays! Christmas especially! I love the smell of the tree, and the twinkling lights at night... it's my favorite holiday of all. But the best Christmas I ever spent was not at home, not even in America - it was on the USO tour to the Middle East two years ago. I spent Christmas with the Marines in Kyrgyzstan and a few of my friends from "Days". We were so lucky to be able to share in the holiday spirit with those soldiers who are unable to celebrate with their families. It's a very special holiday memory for me."
