a little christmas tag



My first Christmas tag! Answer the questions and then tag a couple friends. Spead the Cheer!

hey...you're suppose to be packing, not Christmas tagging. ;)
I'm a party pooper when it comes to tagging.

Angela,

Alright I loved to read your tag, but I just may not get around to doing it back.

However I just wanted you to know that O Holy Night is my very favorite Christmas song. I will always pick that as my favorite over any other song. Plug I LOVE the Josh Groban version. I cannot stand the stupid Celine Dion version that I hear on the radio. She ruins the song. But Harry Connick Jr.- Love that too. I have been listening to it everyday for the last 3 weeks. My very favorite preformer has to be Frank Sinatra though. I could never get enough of Franky. If you check out the stamps on our Christmas card coming your way this week you will see.
