Christmastime is Here...

" ... happiness and cheer. Fun for all, what children call their favorite time of year!"
It's December, Advent season, Christmastime! Welcome to the thread for all things Christmasy --- movies, music, food, celebrations, and more! Drop in and talk about your favorites, new traditions, whatever tickles your fancy.
Are there old specials you can't miss? New movies or albums you've been dying to check out? Tell us about them.
For us, this year is special and different because it's the first with our baby boy (the first grandchild on both sides, so we're expecting him to be a *little* spoiled come Christmas Day). It certainly brings a new measure of understanding to the Christmas story for us.
I'm still working my way into the Christmas spirit because it's been such a wild year, but soon I'll have Christmas jazz, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and more playing nonstop throughout the day. Lauren Daigle's new Christmas album, Behold, is also on our playlists for the season.
Our pastor is doing a series on Advent following the candles of the Advent wreath, and we have a choir cantata coming up on the 18th.
We have multiple celebrations with family coming up — two with my wife's family, one with mine, and then one at our house with both sets of parents.
What does your Advent/Christmas look like this year? What's new or the same?
