Dust bunnies and Santas. I have 150+ Santas that i put out every year. I think i added about 10 more already this year. Yikes! It's fun unwrapping them every year though...it's like an early Christmas.

Until I moved from Chicago nearly 6 years ago, I collected creamers in the shape of cows. I have about 50 from the U.S. and Europe. I also have a box of original Beatles memorabilia.

As for holiday collectibles, we began an authentic German wooden nutcracker collection a few years ago to which we add a new character each year. I've also started a Snowbabies (figurine) collection in the past few years which I display only for the holidays. I have a Santa collection, the centerpiece being an old battery-operated Santa, circa 1954, who waves and moves his head , which belonged to my husband as a child. Last year's addition was a 3' brightly-painted, metal Santa who bounces on springs when the top of his hat is patted.

I, too, collect dust bunnies -- as well as extra pounds, especially during November and December!

I do collect coins and stamps (or have a collection). I've been keeping up with the State quarters and now collecting the new nickels.

I collect Lenox Christmas ornaments, but they are so darn heavy for a real tree, I've switched to figurines - any occassion. However, I've started to collect the "China Jewels" series Nativity.

We never intentionally collected them, but others thought we needed to and we have a ton. I have removed all the tags now, and the kids love the minature animals to play with, they are no longer just sitting.

My great Aunt collects precious moments ceramic figurines. She must have 200 at least. It is out of control. They are cute, but have taken over her whole house. lol.
