#WriterWednesday Interview with Jennifer Bee

I’d like to welcome author, Jennifer Bee, to the blog for a holiday edition of #WriterWednesday!

A few of your favorite traditions: On Christmas Eve, after dinner, everyone gathers in the living room and starts singing Christmas carols. Santa bursts through the front door, carrying a bag full of presents. Every kid gets a gift—old and young alike.

Something holiday-related that you’ll never do again: Agree to be Grandma in the school Christmas pageant no matter how desperate the music teacher is to fill the spot.

Favorite holiday song: “Mary Did You Know”

Holiday song that always gets stuck in your head for the wrong reason: “The Twelve Days Of Christmas.” My novel The Killing Carol is about a widow who has received a note, “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, the reason your husband had to die.” Each day of Christmas brings a new stanza with a new clue. Now the song is always playing in my head. Always.

Favorite holiday treat: My mom’s wreath-shaped, Cornflake cookies.

A holiday treat that makes you gag: Pickled herring.

Favorite holiday show or movie: Christmas With The Kranks

A holiday show or movie that you’ve seen too much: A Christmas Story

Favorite holiday beverage: Hot cocoa with whip cream and marshmallows.

A drink that gives you a sour face: Eggnog

Favorite holiday smell: Cinnamon

Something that makes you hold your nose: Potato soup

Favorite holiday candy: Anything chocolate

A holiday candy that gives you a pickle face: Mint-flavored gummies

Best holiday memory: When the kids made a giant slingshot out of Grandma’s bras and shot wrapping paper balls at everyone.

Something you’d rather forget: When my brother-in-law had a few too many spirits, curled up, and fell asleep in the manger outside Midnight Mass.

Best holiday gift ever: Teddy Ruxpin

Something you wished for but never received: A Cabbage Patch Kid with a pacifier.

Best holiday gift you gave to someone: I gave my kids a puppy. Nacho – because that is Not-cho chihuahua.

A gift that needs regifting: Nacho. 😊

Best thing you ever cooked/baked for the holidays: Grandma Daisy’s Lazy Man Pierogi

Your worst holiday kitchen disaster: When my daughter was making cookies and the handheld mixer started on fire.

Favorite place you spent the holidays: Walt Disney World with the family.

The worst place to spend the holidays: Home- Christmas 2020- due to COVID restrictions. I cannot wait to see everyone this year!! Merry Christmas!
