A3) That one's easy. Phoebe would love books. If she can't have that, yarn be good :) #FAC16 https://t.co/B2gpSwDQ0G

Do you like wearing Christmas sweaters? I have a personal love for the ugly ones! Everyone was asked what Christmas sweater they want to wear. Some of the answers were...A8: The Chipmunk Song.
