I have!
I think K-Mart has it.
My tree is only a couple of years old, so I'll have to wait on that one.

Movie? A Christmas Story
TV show? How The Grinch Stole Christmas (I think that's what you meant, it was a TV-movie)
Song? BNL's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
Food? Candy canes
Drink? I don't really drink anything special for Christmas (I hate eggnog)
What tops your tree? Nothing, actually
Colored lights or white lights? Colored
Tinsel or garland? Neither
Do you have a theme for your tree and decorations? Nope
What is it? Just a bunch of random ornaments
What do you leave out for Santa Claus? I used to leave out leftover cookies and milk
Wrapped presents or unwrapped? Wrapped!
Do you hang stockings? Yep
Do you hang mistletoe? Nope
What is on your front door? Nothing special
Do you decorate inside and outside? Yep
Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Well, One side of my family celebrates on the 23rd, then the other side of my family celebrates on Christmas Eve, and then my immediate family celebrates on Christmas. So I get presents the 23rd, 24th, and 25th
What are some of your family traditions? Going to the local sports bar every year on the 23rd with my dad's side of the family before going back to my house for eating/opening presents. And my mom's side of the family makes a list of who buys for who at the Christmas Eve party. One adult buys for one kid, one kid buys for one kid, and Grandparents buy for everyone.

Favorite Christmas..
Movie? Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The cartoon version. I can't stand the Jim Carrey one. What a discrace to Seuss's work.
Song? Angels We Have Heard on High. What Child is This. Carol of the Bells. The First Noel. In that order.
Food? The chocolate mint cookies my mom makes.
Drink? Hot Chocolate
What tops your tree? An Angel
Colored lights or white lights? Only white outside the house. On the tree, only white red and green.
Tinsel or garland? Tinsel and Beads
Do you have a theme for your tree and decorations? Hahahaha, definitely not. Our ornaments are all over the place, from pink saxophones to angel dalmatians to pigs to tractors. Seriously.
What do you leave out for Santa Claus? Cookies and Carrots
Wrapped presents or unwrapped? Definitely wrapped. Santa's presents are wrapped in brown paper. Stocking stuffers are wrapped in white tissue paper with green or red ribbon.
Do you hang stockings? Of course! Mine is crochet'd with a little boy looking in a toy shop window on it with my name at the top. I've had it and will have it forever.
Do you hang mistletoe? No. Though a few years in a row, my friend and I sold misteltoe on the side of the road. That was fun.
What is on your front door? A wreath.
Do you decorate inside and outside? Yes. Lots inside. Lights and light-up reindeer outside.
Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Both. One present on Christmas Eve that my mom picks out, and the rest on Christmas morning.
What are some of your family traditions? I pretty much covered all the basics. I like to sit at the base of the tree under a blanket with my dog and open the presents as I drink some hot chocolate and listen to Christmas tunes. Then I go to my aunt's house to get and give the gifts there. Christmas is usually just a slack day. I love Christmas.

Favorite Christmas..
Movie? Miracle on 34th St (the original one)
TV show? WDW Christmas Parade
Song? And so this is Christmas (Paul McCartney, I Think)
Food? All of it.
Drink? All of them, too.
What tops your tree? A large Angel
Colored lights or white lights? We alternate back and forth. I like white, DW likes colored.
Tinsel or garland? Usually neither, just beads
Do you have a theme for your tree and decorations?
What is it? Our theme is "How much stuff can the kids throw on the tree before mom gets stressed out?"
What do you leave out for Santa Claus? Cookies, milk or eggnog.
Wrapped presents or unwrapped? Wrapped. I really enjoy doing it too.
Do you hang stockings? On the mantel with great care.
Do you hang mistletoe? Sometimes. If I am sober enough to climb a ladder to reach the chandelier over the front entry.
What is on your front door? Right now, nothing. We are WAY behind this year as we're getting ready to sell the house.
Do you decorate inside and outside? Usually both, but see above.
Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? We gather with family on Christmas Eve, about 30 or 40 people, for a huge dinner. Dinner is without meat, my mom's tradition, but with lots of good traditional Italian fish dishes, pasta, and deserts. Then we exchange family gifts. Santa comes overnight for the kids, and we open those in the morning before we start eating all over again, more Italian tradition.
What are some of your family traditions? Um, eating a lot
Thanks..:xmas:
Merry Christmas!

This is what we had too, and because they would get so hot; my father insisted on soaking the tree for days before they would put it up. The C-7 and C-9 lights seems to be making a comeback; maybe because they don't give you the headache a strand of mini-lights do? I mean no searching for the loose little bulb; just unscrew the burnt out one and screw in the new one. And the 'retro' ones are starting to come in neat colors too.

Favorite Christmas..
Movie? Not sure
TV show? Not sure
Song? Not sure
Food? Not sure
Drink? Not sure
What tops your tree? Either a star, or nothing.
Colored lights or white lights? Multi-Colored, twinkling
Tinsel or garland? I'm not sure how to answer, because I use those two words interchangeably for what we put on our tree. But I think what we use, when you buy it at Walmart, is called Tinsel. It comes in various colors, but we usually put the silver kind on our tree. Last year, we used gold tinsel, but we didn't like it as much.
Do you have a theme for your tree and decorations? We put various colors and designs of glass bulbs on the tree, as well as other ornaments that aren't bulbs. Ornaments that we have bought on our travels, such as the Santa riding the Alligator from GatorLand, our Tinerbell ornament from the Magic Kingdom, different homemade ornaments from our childhoods, or just random non-bulb ornaments such as ones that spell out "JOY", or mice riding a train, etc.
What do you leave out for Santa Claus? Nothing. Our child is only 7 months old, so he's too young to do the Santa thing yet, anyway.
Wrapped presents or unwrapped? Wrapped
Do you hang stockings? Yes
Do you hang mistletoe? No
What is on your front door? A wreath
Do you decorate inside and outside? Just inside
Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Christmas Eve
What are some of your family traditions? Have our own private Christmas on Christmas Eve, including a formal dinner, then do the family Christmas gatherings on Christmas day, or some other day. Watch "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, which we still need to do. Read one of the nativity stories in the Bible before opening presents.
