At lunch my co-worker and I were talking about when we were kids how they used to always play the animated versions of The Happy Prince, The Little Mermaid and the Selfish Giant, and how completely depressing they were. They're all on You Tube:

They're Canadian productions, so they were totally Cancon. The same company also did the Christmas messenger, which I described the other day "the show with the alien and carols." Angels, aliens...same difference.

As depressing as they are, they really were Xmas traditions for me, as much as Charlie Brown and the Grinch.
I have a sweatshirt with a santa face on it that my grandmother made me. It stays at my parents' house and in the years that I am there for Christmas, I wear it Christmas morning. I also have a dress with white and red poinsettias on it that I sometimes wear at Christmas, I made it, so I like it. I also wear a Santa hat as my winter hat for soemtimes the whole week up to Christmas.
I own no christmas clothing. I used to own a santa hat, but I left it in a cab after a drunken santa bar crawl about 5 years ago (I was an elf)
maybe you should think about what the weather is where you are, versus the NINE DEGREES that it is here right now before you mock me
You would be hard-pressed to convince me that they don't make warm clothing without Christmas imagery. I managed in Montreal without it.
I mock, oh, I will mock. Anything to make today go smoother.

Colin used to do that in Montreal. Totally not a warm enough choice given the weather. Never got it.
The socks aren't warm. They are my attempt to make myself FEEL BETTER.

Love the Google logo today.
My Santa hat is actually really warm and if need be, I wear my cashmere liner underneath it.
I used to wear holiday-themed earrings (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day), but no longer. I have some Christmas pajamas, but that's it.
