Susan we are the same way about Christmas traditions.
Every year I get the new Hallmark Lionel train Christmas ornaments (usually 3 in the set) and I get something with "A Christmas Story" theme on it. Last year my entire Christmas was centered around the movie and yes I got a Red Ryder BB Gun!! My wife always gets the new Holiday Barbie, and the new Barbie Hallmark Ornaments (can you tell we love Gold Crown Stores :mrgreen: ) so these are staples in our household.
Funny thing is my Dad always gets socks from my cousin every year and its been that way since she was born. She passed away a couple years ago (only 3 years older than me) and my Daughter took up the slack and started giving him his socks. The first year Holly gave him the socks my dad teared up and hugged her like there was no tomorrow. That man never shows emotions for anything.
I hope you get your calender!!!
