Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Every Christmas Eve I do a "rocking chair interview" with my daughter and twin boys. They sit in a little rocking chair that was mine when I was little and I videotape them and ask them questions about their year: activities they are involved in, who their friends are, what they like or don't like about school, what's on their Christmas wish lists, favorite things that happened to them that year. I love doing this and the kids seem to like that one-on-one time talking into the camera! -- Chanel
