Singer Gwen Stefani may be preoccupied with "The Voice," but she still finds the time to take part in the Christmas festivities. The reality show star recently revealed how she will be celebrating the holiday with boyfriend and fellow "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton.

Stefani was a guest on Ryan Seacrest's radio show last week and she expressed how happy she is this Christmas. When it came to her holiday plans with Shelton, she said that since the kids are with her this year, they initially planned to go to Oklahoma first before coming back to Los Angeles then back to Oklahoma again. But, she, later on, said that they will be spending their Christmas in LA.

The singer has already started to feel the holiday spirit since April as she was in the process of recording her Christmas album, titled "You Make It Feel Like Christmas." When it comes to Christmas traditions, Stefani said that she and her three sons — 11-year-old Kingston, 8-year-old Zuma and 3-year-old Apollo — spend Christmas Eve in their Christmas suits.

"So we have Christmas Eve, [go to] Christmas mass and then we go to my brother's house and, we're such nerds, we do Christmas carols and watch the Santa meters, which shows where he's at," said Stefani.

The singer also recalled one incident last Christmas to NME. On the couple's first holiday together, Stefani recalled that Shelton nearly burned the house down while preparing Christmas dinner. Shelton had a turkey roasting in a smoker and when he returned to check on it, the entire smoker was on fire.

"We saved them, we put them in the oven and they turned out really good, but the house almost went down!" said the No Doubt singer.
