I have a snow man that dances and sings the Snow miser song while swinging a lighted snow flake in a big circle... I'm a total sucker for cheesy Christmas decorations :)

I have a "Christmas Pickle".

My favorite part of "A Christmas Story"...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46WcFObgYhI (I hope I did this right!)

Yes you did and it's one of mine, too! "'Tis the season to be jorry..." Ahhh - the insensitivity of the 80s...

For me...
 

it isn't Christmas until I hear "Silent Night" by The Temptations.

It's not Christmas until Pacific Northwest Ballet's Nutcracker commercials start airing, which reminds me I have to get my tickets. Sometimes they show the PNB motion picture on TV, but not so much anymore. And I really love the PNB version (with Maurice Sendak designed costumes and sets), so I go pretty much every year. Here's a clip from two of my favorite dances to get you in the spirit:

I put up the angel I painted that I made in like 2nd grade. Is it bad that my fav ornament has my picture on it? :p

That song was requested twice in a row on the radio this morning!

It's not Christmas until I see the Budweiser Clydesdales prancing (yea they're big, lol) through the snow.

It used to also be the Norelco Santa sledding down the snow but they don't show that anymore.:(

I inherited a set of tea cups & tea pot ornaments that are 120 years old. I can't believe I haven't broken one yet!

And now, I've probably jinxed myself!

I was just thinking the same thing - you be careful, honeychile!

I have this feeling that I won't even touch the box they're in for this Christmas!

I just knocked on wood for you.

Mine isn't handed down (it's not a family tradition), but I had a friend who gave it to me as part of an inside joke. It still makes me giggle every time I put it up!

It is not Christmas...
 

Until the nose on the stag on top of the white steer building is lit

I think I may watch that one this year.
