Must Have Christmas/Holiday Decorations?

What are your must have decorations for the upcoming holiday season? Where are the best places you have found to get your decorations?

Well, the only "must have" I want this year is a new tree skirt. I am going to go to the Christmas Store at Islands of Adventure to see if I can find one to match my Universal Studios themed tree.

Tinsel! I loved the stuff growing up and my parents always thought it was tacky, so we rarely had it. Also colored lights. I like those too and they didn't, so now I get to choose. hehe I need some of those hooks to hold the stockings on the fireplace, but I haven't found any that were reasonable enough price-wise for us to buy. We bought stockings and I ordered 2 new ornaments (left that out of what I told DH I ordered...actually didn't tell him any of it since part is his Christmas present). One of the ornaments is a Donald (DH's favorite) and one is the Mickey/Minnie just married one. Can't wait to get them!

I've always found Costco to have the neatest Christmas stuff. I need a new wreath this year, a really big, pretty one! And I'd like to get some decorations to hang on my lantern lights.

Bumping for more ideas! I'm making DBF go decoration shopping next weekend!
I know we still need something for the door, stockings, stocking hangers, a tree topper and a tree skirt. I'm ready to add on to my list though, so help me out!

My Mickey's Clock Shop is 11 years old this Christmas and I don't think it is going to survive this one. Any suggestions for something to replace it? Every kid growing up in our family loved looking at Donald, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto popping out of the clocks to sing carols...
