Thinking back and now with kids of my own - I think Rudoulph the Red Nose Reindeer would have to bring back my fondest memories of my own childhood and hopefully my own childrens. Waiting for the movie to come on TV every year is such a fun thing to have to wait for - even though I can by it on DVD - the anticipation is more fun!

Oooh, would love to do Willette's course... one of my favourite Christmassy songs is Let it Snow (Dean Martin's version). I have a Christmas Playlist in iTunes with lots of kitschy music which definitely puts me in the festive mood! Love it.

My favorite song would be Mary's Boy Child. We sang it in a Christmas program when I was in grade school. I have loved it since and make sure we play it on Christmas day.
