What Christmas artifacts have you retained from your childhood?

[Earth 2 Chris]

My mom managed a Hallmark store for 10 years, so I have lots of ornaments from there, as well as older things that belonged to her and my grandparents. I have an old light up Santa face on one of our doors, and it immediately takes me back to walking into my grandparents on Christmas Eve every time I pull into our drive-way.

I still have my Childhood and favorite Christmas album "Christmas with the King Family" and still in mint condition.

This is not my copy.
