Christmas Quote by Michelle Trachtenberg
“My favorite Christmas was the year my sister, who is seven years older than I am, gave me a real gold necklace with letters that spelled out "extra special sister". It was the first time I had received a gift from her like that...something really special. Actually, I had asked her for a Barbie and was disappointed. But I was only eight at the time, and as I've grown older, I've appreciated the necklace more and more.”
