I love Christmas. I really do love Christmas. I love being with my family and I love snow. I love the music and the lights and all of it.

I've been vegetarian for so long now that I don't remember anything different, so it's easy for me to put meals together and make sure my family is eating healthy, too.

Take no moment for granted.

I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.

I've always tried to be pretty healthy, eating well and exercising regularly. I definitely give myself treats.

I started doing radio commercials for Kmart when I was 4. They had to splice all my consonants together because I couldnt talk very well. But these jobs helped my mother and me put food on the table. It took the two of us working.

The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?
