[Favorite Christmas song]
 I love all Christmas music!


[Travel at Christmas or stay home]
Well...right now we travel to my family and then Adam's.  It takes several days and we're exhausted and irritated by the time we get home.  Hopefully this will be the last year of traveling!


[Can you name all of Santa's reindeer]
Eek!  No...Rudolph.  Dancer. Prancer. Donner. Blixen.  I give up!  I'm pretty sure the ones I listed aren't even real...haha!

[Turkey or ham on Christmas day]
Both!


[What do you want for Christmas this year]
 I asked for several things, but the best part will be spending time with our families
