"Martha Stewart, 69, (Martha Stewart&amp;apos;s Holiday Open House airs Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. on Hallmark) shares the 25 things you don&amp;apos;t know about her with UsMagazine.com.\r\n1. I tend to keep a light on near my bed when I sleep (about four hours a night) so I can write notes or do work when I wake up.\r\n2. When I travel, I like to bring my own fresh lemons, just in case they don&amp;apos;t have them on the plane.\r\n3. Some of my fondest memories of childhood were sitting at the kitchen table eating white onion sandwiches.\r\n4. I only beat my father at Scrabble once.\r\n5. I just finished writing my 76th book.\r\n6. When I first wake up, before the sun rises, I say hello to all the animals on my farm.\r\n7. I have four horses, 200 chickens, two sheep, three miniature donkeys, five cats, three dogs and 25 red canaries, and I&amp;apos;m a beekeeper.\r\n\r\n8. I&amp;apos;m not a big fan of fragrances in anything -- that&amp;apos;s why Martha Stewart cleaning products are fragrance-free and color-free.\r\n9. This past Thanksgiving was the first time I didn&amp;apos;t make my own turkey. I went out to a restaurant with my daughter and friends.\r\n\r\n10. I love the Yankees.\r\n11. I like baking more than cooking. In fact, I have a new baking series, Martha Bakes, airing on Hallmark Channel in January.\r\n12. When I was a young girl, I helped my brother trap muskrats in Nutley, New Jersey.\r\n13. I recently tracked polar bears on a working vacation in Northern Canada.\r\n14. I have a very dry sense of humor.\r\n15. If I wasn&amp;apos;t doing this for a living, I&amp;apos;d be a teacher or maybe a veterinarian.\r\n16. My favorite home-cooked meal is scrambled eggs.\r\n17. I love Eminem.\r\n18. I paid for my college education by modeling.\r\n\r\n19. I am most comfortable in jeans and a work shirt.\r\n20. One person I would love to meet is Barack Obama.\r\n21. I do yoga every day for an hour.\r\n22. I&amp;apos;m perfectly happy with a liverwurst sandwich.\r\n23. I&amp;apos;m a closet tech geek. I&amp;#x2019;m obsessed with my iPad, my Droid and my new Samsung Tablet.\r\n24. I have over 2,040,000 Twitter followers.\r\n25. I listen to lots of rap music in the studio of The Martha Stewart Show [which airs on Hallmark Channel at 10 A.M.]."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
