Rome at Christmas time

We're planning to be in Rome for Christmas. Any tips on attending midnight mass in St Peter's Square? Should we try to stay close to the Vatican?

I was in Rome Xmas 2008 staying at Hotel Aberdeen near the termini. Rather than go to the Vatican and fight the crowds, I walked to nearby Santa Maria Maggiore (also a Vatican church). The ceremony was very moving. Just another option.
