(Asked at Cosentinos at Canyon Creek Plaza)

“Yes, Christmas. We get up at 6 a.m. and go to church before we open presents.”

“Yes, Christmas and Persian New Year. My oldest daughter was born on Thanksgiving Day, my anniversary is near Christmas and my second daughter was born on Valentine’s Day. We celebrate all year ‘round.”

“Yes, Christmas. I think just about every Christmas. We celebrate with our grandsons, nieces and nephews and enjoy watching the children. They laugh and bring life and excitement into the celebration. The excitement in their eyes keeps you young.”

“Yes, we celebrate Christmas. Being with my family and getting together around the table [is my favorite memory]. We gambled one year, that’s when we lived in Las Vegas.”

“Yes, Christmas. The year we spent Christmas with my husband’s family and our new baby son who had been born that November [is my favorite memory]. It was [my son’s] first Christmas. I remember all the children opening presents. It was wonderful. We have a big family.”
