Jennifer Perkins knows a thing or two about traditions. Just ask to see one of her hundreds of Christmas trees. But too often, the word traditional is synonymous with conventional, common, or popular. As the tradition of not being traditional is her secret sauce, Jennifer encourages us to take the traditional and add our own spin.
