Thanks @Glenn1972.  Now I have to start thinking about New Year's!

@Scooterpie - I have a Beary special tradition for Christmas also.  My tree only has ornaments on it that have bears.  I have collected ornaments from all over and have quite a few from Germany since I lived there for 4 years.  My youngest daughter knew about this rule, so when she made me an ornament one time - she included a bear sticker so it would be able to be placed on the tree.  

Below is a picture of our Christmas tree and also a picture of a few bears that have a Christmas or winter theme that I have arranged by the fireplace under the stockings.


Please note the two little bears in the front on the left.  They are collector bears from Disney Sea in Tokyo Japan.  They can only be bought there and every year they come out with a different outfit. 😊🤗🐨
