Emily Sims was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She loves spending time with her family and friends, and truly does believe that it takes a village, so she's happy to have the support system that surrounds her. Early on, Emily's parents instilled a major love for Christmas in her. She loves celebrating those same traditions with her husband and children now. Since the pandemic has been difficult for many families, she wanted to create something joyful and hopeful for this very unusual holiday season. For herself, Emily will be spending the holidays with her husband, three boys, four dogs, and little lizard.
