Tigress is feisty among other things and on the album so showed a different side….Her rendition added a classy maturity and polish to the album…not that it required polishing but the Album is Shining!!! Her beautiful rendition of Joy to the world is sure to raise some pores and put you into that sentimental and appreciative Christmas mood…(If you are not in it as yes)
Entertainment Macco: What does Christmas mean to you?
Tigress: “In the old testament the prophet Isaiah wrote in Chapter 9 Vs 16..."For unto us a child is born; for unto us a child is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father the Prince of Peace.” Therefore at Christmas time there is no doubt in my mind due to my undying faith in my Lord and Saviour that My Redeemer Liveth..so it’s all about being Merry, giving, making people happy and rejoicing, as I know he came so we can have life everlasting
Entertainment Macco: What is your most memorable Christmas experience?

Entertainment Macco: Are you the early preparation type and comfortable type OR the last minute hustle and bustle, smelling the fresh paint type?
Tigress: "I am little of both like to know what drapes I am putting up long before my colour scheme, but then you have to forget one item, there is a certain rush you get from being amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays."

Tigress: "Jesus is the reason for the season, So it’s the season not the day."
Entertainment Macco: Parang VERSUS Carols; which one do you prefer?
Tigress: "I like them both Parang to me is the wee hours of the morning you are trying to keep some parangderos off your new linoleum, and they have to use the back steps as not to step on the wet paint on the post office red front step
Carols is the days of Carolers coming around with their candles, collecting a "lil change" in a tray...or sometimes you are in the church choir and you are in the church play for Christmas, you are going to rehearsals for weeks..those were the days of real Christmas Carols so they are both very near and dear to me."
Entertainment Macco: LOL @ Post Office Red front step...haha
Entertainment Macco: Do you feel the same about Christmas as an adult in comparison to your feelings when you were a child? What has changed?
Tigress: "My feelings about Christmas has not changed one bit because..don't think there are any comparisons though.....it still is the most festive time of the year for me, But now being a adult/parent and only having sons, Christmas took a different turn they use to fuss "Mom this is to much work" "I am tired" "Could we not do this” so I had to do all the decorating and they will do the painting of course with the assurance their Christmas gifts will be grand ones
As the child you were told what to do and we use to get the goodies when they were stale as they were for " when people come” and you had fun with your gift that was decided for you which may have been a ball, a doll, a tea set or a snake and ladder game which you appreciated by the way..may I add I still have a tea pot from my childhood."
Tigress: "I will bring back the Christ in Christmas I think it’s lost...we don’t celebrate Christmas for what it is anymore"
Entertainment Macco: Are you on the Naughty or Nice list? I hope you are not getting coal in your stockings this Christmas… lol
Tigress: “Well I am always on the Nice List...as Tigress makes sure Joanne is treated nice as I always take care of my star player...ME..so my stocking will have what I decide should be in there.”
