Thanks for playing along! It is interesting to read all the different answers that people give, and it lets us all have a little peek into your Christmas habits.

I'm totally with you on the hershey kiss PB cookies, driving around looking at lights, and "Mary Did You Know!" Sounds like we have a lot in common.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

My 3-year and 1-year old love to drive around and look at Christmas lights, too. They don't seem to like Christmas song, though (perhaps because I sing them a lot when I'm driving).

"Daddy," my 3-year old would say. "Can you just tell me the Christmas story?"

Hmp.

Merry Christmas.
