Thanks for tuning in for this very special Thanksgiving episode of Thursdays With Teresha! My guest this week was very gracious to take time out of her crazy holiday activities to appear on the show, so please show some love (in the form of comments!).

How many children do you have and what are their genders/ages? I have two girls; Michaela is 6 and Hannah is 8
- What is your kid(s) favorite toy? Each girl still has their special "lovey"... Hannah's is a doll named Sally and Michaela's is a stuffed dog appropriately named Puppy!
- What was your favorite toy when you were a child? A stuffed elephant my dad gave to me when I was 5. His name is Elmer... and I still have him!
- What is your favorite season of the year and why? Hands down, my favorite season is fall. I love the cool, crisp weather... watching the leaves change color... and my birthday and wedding anniversary both just happen to occur in the fall!
- What's on the menu for Thanksgiving? The usual fare... turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potato casserole, mac & cheese, green beans... and of course, lots of desserts!
- What was your family's holiday tradition when you were growing up? As far back as I can remember, my family opened presents on Christmas Eve. We'd attend the evening church service then go back home for a light supper. My parents would let my brother, sister and I open our stockings... and then it was back to church for the candlelight service. Since it was well after midnight by the time we got back home, we'd just change into our pajamas and open our gifts. Now that we're all grown, we still celebrate with my side of the family on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas day with my husband's family.
- What is a holiday tradition you've established with your own family? One thing we've started is on Christmas Eve, my mom reads a Christmas story to her grandkids... each year it's a different story.
- What is your lamest hobby? Ummmm... this is a hard question! I really don't have many hobbies... and I wouldn't call any of the ones I do have "lame"! I like to read, scrapbook... and blog, of course!
- Name one item you would put in a time capsule and why? A DVD of my all-time favorite movie... Roman Holiday. It's classic and timeless... it's one movie that should never disappear
- If you could build your dream shopping plaza, what 5 stores would you put in it? Old Navy, Target, Sephora, Kohl's, Starbucks
- Are you more attracted to hunks or geeks, and who is your perfect specimen? Another hard question! I'd say I'm equally attracted to hunks and geeks. Geeks (like Jim from "The Office") will always have a special place in my heart, but there's also nothing quite like a manly man. And my idea of the perfect male specimen? That would be my movie-boyfriend... Daniel Craig!

We had a similar Christmas Eve ritual growing up, when we were really young my Mom told us that Santa came early. Inevitably, my Dad, sister and I would be getting in the car for church and my Mom would be taking too long and when we got home, Santa had come. She said he had so much to do he came to our house early. LOL
