A favorite holiday tradition is to spend a whole evening at the tree light section in Torrance and watch my girls’ eyes light up with magic. On our wish list this year is a 20-foot slide for our girls … but mostly for us! I also like to treat myself at the holidays with wine from the special cellar at Barsha. For a winter getaway, I love to go anywhere where it snows! One of my fondest holiday memories is Christmas in snowy Milan, when Adnen proposed.”

It’s always fun to line up against family for a little smash-mouth football, but when it’s time to sit down for Tom Turkey later that night, we know we’re all on the same team. My fondest holiday memory is probably Christmas Eve growing up as a boy—a big family dinner followed by holiday music at home and dad reading ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’ is something I will always cherish.”
