GCP Girl: Finish this sentence: "I know it's the holiday season when..."

CS: When we moved back to Florida three years ago, we moved in on Christmas Eve. We had no tree or any decorations because we had driven all day from New Jersey. It was about 9 at night when my mom and dad were looking in the new attic to put some boxes away when all of a sudden, we found a Christmas tree with lights. It was a miracle. We had a tree.
GCP Girl: What are you looking forward to the most this holiday season?
CS: Spending time with my family and my grandmom.
GCP Girl: Tell me something you'd like everyone to know!
CS: That I am funny and energetic and love to make you laugh.
