Mercury forward Barb Farris: Our family tradition involves waking up shortly after midnight to open presents.
Mercury center Brooke Smith: Our Christmas tradition is to open presents on Christmas Eve, which is always pajamas and you have to wear those pajamas for the night and Christmas morning!

Mercury guard Allie Quigley: My favorite Christmas movie is "All I Want for Christmas" with Thora Birch. I love the part when Thora and her Grandma sing ‘Baby It's Cold Outside’.

Mercury guard Jennifer Derevjanik: I don’t have any gifts I’m really hoping for. I’m just excited about eating all the food my family cooks for Christmas and of course I’m excited about that NY pizza!
Mercury forward Barb Farris: A "Turducken.. It’s a turkey stuffed with a chicken that's stuffed with a duck with rice and sausage dressing. It’s from a local butcher in the New Orleans area. It satisfies all meat cravings for the holiday.
Mercury guard Allie Quigley: I didn't really ask for anything this year. I think my mom mentioned something about a watch...hmm...But really, the best gift is just being able to go home and see my family and friends
