Bizarre Christmas Traditions

We have a somewhat menacing tree ornament, a light-up Darth Vader figurine.  It’s about 5” high, and electrified via a Christmas tree light socket from a nearby string.  A present from friends of the family to my son when he was about 10, we’d never dream of not having it on the tree.  Every time the tree lights are switched on, it gasps “The Force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet!”  As the Darling Daughter remarked when we put the tree up this year, “It just doesn’t feel like Christmas until the Dark Sith Lord speaks.”
Strange, maybe a little, but it can’t hold a candle to these Unusual Christmas Traditions.  A little creepy, some.  Weird, all.
