I’ll also be ordering a copy of “HIIT IT!” (which has ALL of my macaroon recipes inside!) for the winner, which is a favorite thing because a lot of love went into making it. I poured my heart, soul, and fitness knowledge into the pages, and am so excited to share it with you all.

    I love watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Christmas Eve with my family

  2. Danielle on December 8, 2014 at 5:50 am

    Because of my job, I don’t get that much time to see my family in the winter, so getting to be there on Christmas is a huge deal to me. I absolutely love Christmas morning where we all get up and sit around the tree with our coffee and then make breakfast (my vote is always waffles!). Once we clean up the kitchen and usually make a 2nd pot of coffee, we open up presents. I don’t think one is ever too old to want to spend Christmas morning with their parents and siblings 🙂

  3. Liz on December 8, 2014 at 5:54 am

    I watch love actually and the Bridget jones movies every xmas season!

  4. Jessie on December 8, 2014 at 5:57 am

    My favorite tradition is decorating the Christmas tree and making holiday crafts with my 3 yr old:)

  5. Nikki S on December 8, 2014 at 5:57 am

    My favorite tradition is when my family makes the secret family recipe for ‘pecan chews’ and we all sit around helping to wrap and package them up.

  6. Cara on December 8, 2014 at 5:58 am

    Baking with my mom and going to look at Christmas lights- it makes me feel like a kid again!

  7. Elizabeth on December 8, 2014 at 5:59 am

    My favorite Christmas tradition is mimosas on Christmas morning (and whatever mornings we’re celebrating Christmas with our multiple families).

  8. Stephanie on December 8, 2014 at 6:00 am

    I love watching A Christmas Story during the 24 hours that it airs. Major award!

    I’ve already preordered the book!

  10. Lisa O on December 8, 2014 at 6:00 am

    Congratulations again on your book! So inspiring to watch a dream realised. My favourite holiday tradition is lunch with my family with homemade Bon bons going off, Michael Buble crooning in the background, champagne fizzing under my nose and my family all together. Combine that tradition with introducing my two children to it all, it’s pretty dang special!! I cannot wait 🙂

  11. Kelli L. on December 8, 2014 at 6:00 am

    Letting the kids only look in their stockings before we get up, & listening to them whisper & giggle.

  12. Kelli L. on December 8, 2014 at 6:02 am

    I have preordered your book!!!

  15. Heidi on December 8, 2014 at 6:03 am

    Since I was a twinkle in my Mom’s eye, we’d write our Christmas memories in a notebook. As the years have gone by, it’s amazing to see how our family has grown and changed. It’s truly magical. Since we lost my dad to cancer two Christmases ago, he lives on through our Christmas memories notebook . 🙂 Merry Christmas!

  16. Lindsay on December 8, 2014 at 6:03 am

    My hubby preordered the book for me!!

    Just one favorite tradition? I love everything about the season, from giving cookie platters to watching Elf with my family, to organizing a family orchestra using the whistles in our special Christmas crackers (a tradition I miss now that Christmas is spent with my in-laws).

    I already pre-ordered your book and downloaded the e-book! I would love to have a second copy to give to a friend.

  26. Michelle on December 8, 2014 at 6:12 am

    Oh my goodness, I would love this book to refresh my client’s training in the New Year! You are so awesome. My favorite Christmas tradition (even though picking just one is hard to do) would be gathering around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve under the twinkling lights and reading “The Polar Express” and “Christmas Story” with my family in pajamas before bed. Cozy Christmas traditions. 🙂

  27. Angie on December 8, 2014 at 6:12 am

    Our new holiday tradition is going for burgers and ice cream, and then seeing Christmas lights on Christmas Eve Eve with just my husband and daughter. We like that it’s just the 3 of us before 2 days of huge family get togethers, which we love but it’s nice that we have something for just the 3 of us 🙂
