I got Christmas Tagged!

I have been tagged by my friend Kera for the "Annual Christmas Tag" hosted by Lanaya from the blog Raising Reagan.
It is a getting to know you, Christmas style, post. I'm excited to participate! Thanks for tagging me Kera!

1- What do you love most about Christmas time?
I love the overall feeling of Christmas time. It feels so cozy and loving and all about family. I love getting to see my family and decorating the tree. Especially now that I have Olz. Last year Joe and I started our family tradition of getting a new ornament for the tree each year. This year being one that we had made from Megan at Ornaments for Adoption. It says "first we had each other, then we had you, now we have everything" and a little picture of our family. And Olz was conceived on Christmas so now that's extra special! TMI! Sorry!

2- Do you celebrate the holiday in style or is bah-humbug for you?
Hm.. Probably somewhere in between.

3-  Are you leaving anything out for Santa Claus this year so he remembers to leave your presents?
Not this year. Next year.

4- What is the one gift you are most looking forward to GIVING? {It can be to your kids, another family member, etc ~ remember to be discreet if they read your blog!}
The 365 day rip away calendars we made for my parents and Joe's Grandparents. I think they are going to love them. We already gave Joe's mom hers.

5- What is your all-time favorite Christmas movie?
Charlie Brown Christmas! I absolutely love it and love the soundtrack! It's one of the few good memories of my biological mom that I have.

6- What is your all-time favorite Christmas song?
Blue Christmas when Elvis sings it. It was my Gramma's favorite and it reminds me of her. It kind of makes me sad now because Christmas is blue without her!! But I love it so much.

7- If given the opportunity would you participate in an "Ugly Sweater" party and what sweater would you wear? Peruse one on the internet or even in your own closet and show us!
I would! And I'm not looking at pictures right now! LOL

8- Have you started any Christmas traditions this year that you plan on carrying forward?
So far just decorating the tree as a family and getting a new special ornament each year.

9- It's Christmas morning, what does it look like outside where you live?
Wet. Not snowy. Just wet and dreary.

10- You just found yourself standing under the mistletoe...who comes up to give you a kiss first?
Joe, I hope!!
