I've been Christmas Tagged!

OK, THIS is my last post before Christmas- the order of my posts is somehow, well, out of order!
I have been tagged by Carol- and let me tell you, she has a GREAT blog. Stop by if you've never been there before.

Here goes:

1. Hot Chocolate or apple cider?
Hot Chocolate- with marshmallows!!!
2. Turkey or Ham?
Ham.
3. Do you get a fake or real-you-cut-it-yourself Christmas tree?
We have an artificial tree. I love them because you can keep them up so much longer!
4. Decorations on the outside of your house?
Usually, but not yet this year.
5. Snowball fights or sleddin'?
BOTH! Sledding is first choice.
What happened to number 6?!
7. Do you enjoy going downtown shopping?
Not in Detroit!
8. Favorite Christmas song?
O Holy Night
10. How do you feel about Christmas movies?
I love them.
11. When is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
It'd be great if I believed Advent, but I confess, when the radio starts playing it, I start listening to it!
12. Stockings before or after presents?
Definitely before.
13. Carolers, do you or do you not watch and listen to them?
I'd like to have some, but we never do.
14. Go to someone else's house or they come to you?
We're ALWAYS going to someone else's house.
15. Do you read the Christmas Story? If so when?
Yes, It's never the same time every year.
16. What do you do after presents and dinner?
Share our gifts with each other, sit by the fire, talk and visit, snack on Christmas goodies. This year I especially look forward to meeting my new nephew!! I plan to hold him nonstop!!
17. What is your favorite holiday smell?
Cookies baking and apple pie. And the familiar smell of my parents' house, with the fireplace going.
18. Ice skating or walking around the mall?
The mall! I can not ice skate to save my life.
19. Do you open a present or presents on Christmas Eve, or wait until Christmas day?
We do almost all of it on Christmas Eve, after Mass. Since getting married, my husband and I (and our son) do ours on Christmas Day.

Having Santa come into our house- down the chimney!!

Hot chocolate, fireplace, and going to bed early!
