For me it has always been the music and most especially "Silent Night" I love the Christmas Carrolls!!!
I also start getting in the mood for Christmas when we put up our tree, we do not have a very big tree, it's a tiny one, but very fun to set up and easy to take down!

The smell of the holidays gets me in the Christmas mood.
Baking cookies, roasting turkey and ham, bread and cakes with nutmeg and cinnamon.

This year I was put in the Christmas mood after walking around downtown. All the stores were decorated for Christmas. As soon as I got home I started putting up my Christmas decorations. I also dug out my Christmas music audio cassettes.

All of the above. I love to see the lights that everyone has up. That really makes it feel like Christmas. I first get the Christmas signal when my sister and I go Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving. After that my husband and I put up the tree. He is not thrilled about Christmas so I have made tree trimming into an activity he enjoys by making a nice meal then I make up a batch of "tree trimming cocktails" and put on Christmas music. Then he enjoys it more. I also have made a point of getting ornament which resonate with him like blown glass ornaments and little nutcrackers. I want him to feel involved.
