Definitely claymation Rudolph. Although, for a while there, MadTV ruined that one for me. That and Santa's quote "Every year Rudolph I shine up my jingle-bells for 8 lucky reindeer" has become much funnier than when I was 7.
Robbie the Reindeer is a pretty good one as well, though not super-high on Christmassy feel for me.

Sitting at home with a fire going, lights down and the Christmas Tree lit up. Also doing good deeds for people, it feels extra special this time of year.

First sentence: I hear ya.
Second sentence: I didn't think people did that anymore. I have a vague memory of helping somebody do something once, but I have a feeling they paid me for it, so it probably doesn't count. What kind of good deeds do you do Jolinar?

Things such as helping an old lady push her grocery cart to her car. I have bought gift cards and given them to homeless people. Offering people rides if they are waiting for cabs (most people accept but sometimes people look at me like I am some kind of creep....which in this day and age can be understandable). Picking up hitch hikers (find a lot between Hobeema and Wetaskwin). Helping change flat tires, giving boosts to cars with dead batteries. Basically just small things that present themselves at the moment.

Christmas baking with the wife like we're doing this afternoon.
Driving around looking at the lights on houses. Bridlewood and Evergreen have some great streets where folks really go all out.
Watching the old Rankin-Bass animated holiday specials. The Little Drummer Boy is my favorite. I downloaded a torrent with a bunch of these.
I love the lights down with the Christmas tree on thing too.

From now on it will probably be the LOLcats thread.

A Charlie Brown Christmas. I think I just relate the the commercialization feeling surrounding the holidays. If nobody started their Christmas sales of advertising until Dec.1 then I would be happy.

Last minute paniced shopping. For some reason I love it - ever since I was in University due to exams my shopping always came down to the final few days. And I've left it that way ever since. A part of my shopping tradition is knowing that I have one day to do my shopping - and the pressure of getting 'er done in that one day.
I get a kick out of being in the malls with the rest of the last minute shoppers.
Besides that just certain smells, songs and foods.

Not much, Christmas has depressed me since I was a kid. Christmas songs by nature all sound sad to me.
