I just saw on weather.com that they're forecasting SNOW for Christmas Day! A couple of years ago, when we had that big snow on Christmas, it was so much fun! We were settled in for the day because we always go to Midnight Mass, then the party afterwards. We don't get up until about 9 or 10, open presents, then I don't start dinner til around 1 or 2. It makes for a very relaxing Christmas. I just turn on "The Messiah" and do my Christmas dinner thing!

As soon as all the Hobbit Hole travelers are home...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

We'll probably open presents on Christmas Eve - we almost always do. Go to Mass, come home, open presents and eat. Then the actual Christmas Day is a bit quieter...we mostly hang out and talk and play games and, of course, eat more.

Our church isn't doing a Midnight Mass this year - only one at nine in the evening, with a hymn singalong before hand. Should be nice.

Sounds like a wonderful way to do it. Being in AZ, having snow on Christmas was most definitely not an every-year occurence... I only remember that happening a couple times. But it was nice when it did happen!

And BTW, the actual title is just "Messiah" (no "The") </music geek nit-picking>
