11. Mail or email a Xmas Card? Mail

12. Favorite Xmas movie?
"Tři oříšky pro Popelku" (meaning "Three hazelnuts for Cinderella" in Czech). For my parents are of Czech decent, I grew up watching Czech fairytale adaptions and series. Especially this Cinderella adaption, originally writen by Božena Němcová, is one of a kind. If you haven't seen it, you should give it a go. For more information about the film, check out either wikipedia or the fansite given below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%99i_o ... ro_Popelku
http://www.dreihaselnuessefueraschenbroedel.de/ (German fansite)

If you are interested in getting hold of a copy, you may find it at amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Three-Wishes-Cind ... _v_title_1
http://www.amazon.de/Haseln%C3%BCsse-As ... bs_d_img_1

17. Favorite Xmas Song? Now that is quite a difficult task. I use to listen to some Xmas pop songs, incl. "Last Christmas" by Wham the weeks before Xmas Eve. On Xmas eve, I listen to a Mahalia Jackson cd. But since I am a fan of Alicia Keys, I have to say that my favorite song is her version of "Little drummer boy" called "Little drummer girl". I wish, I had the John Legend NBC promo cd, that would be my #2 then.
