Andrea Kelly, Broker Associate | Village of WestClay Office
“Our favorite Christmas traditions all involve time spent with family and great food. We typically host all of my sisters and their kids at our home on Christmas Eve. We play games and have a huge meal with all 25 of us. Christmas Day is also at our home. We open gifts, and then everyone arrives for a huge brunch which includes French toast casserole, a ham, eggs, fruit and hot chocolate. We spend the day together watching Christmas movies, playing games and relaxing.”
Rebecca Glazier, Broker Associate | Carmel Office
“Eating potato latkes with our family while celebrating Hanukkah.”
Erin Wilson, Real Estate Professional | Zionsville Office
“I have a few- Christmas Eve is celebrated with extended family and carry-out Chinese food, with cards to follow. On Christmas Day, we do a family run, which can get competitive but is always a good time, and we end the day with Christmas dinner, consisting of grilled filet mignon along with mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. It’s definitely our yummiest tradition!”
Leah Link, Director of Marketing
“My favorite holiday traditions are gathering with family to play games, eat delicious food and share in our white elephant gift exchange which usually includes a variety of hilarious gifts!”
Matt Meyers, Broker Associate | Carmel Office
“Driving through the neighborhoods with our daughters and seeing everyone’s holiday decorations! They are young so they get very excited to see all the lights and inflatables which, of course, as a parent to see your kid’s smile and excitement around the holiday is what it’s all about!”
Jordan Herman, Broker Associate | The Carpenter Herman Group | Carmel Office
“Wearing matching Christmas pajamas with my wife’s family.”
