Joanna Gives "The Boot" the Scoop on Her Christmas Traditions

Says Joanna to The Boot about her holiday traditions, "Christmas around the Smith house has a definite pattern to it. We wake up on Christmas morning, and it does not matter if I'm 50 years old, my parents are still gonna treat me like a kid, which is sweet -- although slightly embarrassing -- and my sister and I walk down the hall and they take our picture and we come around the corner and Santa Claus has been there! And we look at all these gifts and open them, and then there is undoubtedly going to be a candy trail to our big, grand-finale Christmas gift. And we follow a trail of usually Reese's Peanut Butter Cups down the steps and outside, and there will be something awaiting us. So, the older we get, the more dorky it seems that we still do this stuff, and the smaller the grand-finale prize gets. But that's our Christmas tradition! I make a big fuss at it, and I have to act like I hate it, but truly I love it and look forward to it, and yes, I will subject my own kids to the same form of torture."
