This year I made my neighbors a CD of our favorite Christmas tunes. On the front cover I added the quote by Will Ferrell as Buddy The Elf:
"The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
Then on the tag that said it was from us, it said "If you need something to Rock Around The Christmas Tree to, know that this was made especially for you!"
