Best Childhood Christmas Memory
The year it snowed so hard in Southern Indiana that we were unable to drive to our grandparents house in Kentucky for Christmas dinner. Our neighbors hooked up their tractor (what your neighbors didn't have a tractor?) to our sleigh (what you didn't have your own sleigh?) and pulled all of us through the snow to their relatives house where their kids had really cool toys like Creepy Crawlers.
The Worst Childhood Christmas Memory
The year I went to see Santa Claus arrive by helicopter at a local mall in Indiana and the helicopter hit some power lines while landing and crashed killing Santa, thus traumatizing a generation of Hoosier children.
Best Holiday Movie Performance
Rosemary Clooney in "White Christmas." In a 2000 interview included on the DVD of the movie, the modest Ms. Clooney noted the fact that her co-star ex-Rockette Vera-Ellen ''couldn't sing. Her voice was dubbed. If they could have dubbed my dancing, now, we would have had a perfect picture.''
Worst Holiday Movie Performance
Philip Tonge playing Maureen O'Hara's high strung assistant Julian Shellhammer in "The Miracle on 34th St." His performance was greatly overshadowed by my sensitive and nuanced interpretation of the same role years later in high school.

I loved my Creepy Crawlers set. I spent hours making those little creatures and burning my hands because I couldn't wait for the little metal trays to cool.
Couldn't agree more on the chocolate-covered cherries. I could eat 'em 'til I'm sick, and it wouldn't take too many.
And surely, surely, surely, John Denver's "Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" deserves a spot in the Worst Song category.
I want a Who Cares Any More Tickle Me Elmo! (with realistic neck snap)
Might I suggest the hairy pecs inflatable bath pillow... Xmas sweaters are awful, pastel Easter sweaters are much better- lol!
I'm purchasing that pillow. For my couch. Right now.
Between the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, A Christmas Story, and White Christmas, I am gonna be one happy xmas-special-watching lady this season.
:-)
That truly is the worst Santa ever. Very funny. I also think the tacky sweaters are hilarious. That guy actually looks happy wearing it.
