Avril Ramona Lavigne was born on September 27, 1984, in Belleville, a small city in the eastern part of the province of Ontario, Canada. The second of three children, her father, John, was a technician for Bell Canada; mother Judy was a stay-at-home mom. When Lavigne was five, the family moved to Napanee, a farming town even smaller than Belleville with a total population of only five thousand. She's a singer-songwriter, fashion designer, occasional actress, and philanthropist.
With 2011 drawing to a close and the holidays sneaking up behind us faster than a can of pepper spray on a Black Friday at Wal-Mart, lesser folks like ourselves might want to take little break from a seemingly exhausting year of winning at everything. Or at least take a little nap. But not Avril, whose energy — and ability to be good at ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, apparently knows no bounds. (She reserves the right to hair flip professionally.) Case in point: Not only is Avril a seasoned chef (as any Band-Aid knows), but Avril is really excellent at making Christmas cookies, as you’ll see in this certifiably adorable (we think!) Buzzworthy holiday video in which Avril decorates Christmas cookies and shares her Christmas memories and some of her the meaningful fan gifts she’s ever received. Now someone PLEASE get this girl a set of decent knives! She’s earned ‘em!
