1 → The Baldwins We've got Alec, William, Stephen and Daniel Baldwin on this list, and how could they not be? These guys from New York have made names for themselves in the acting world. 2 → Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen & Emilio Estévez
 I never knew Emilio was related to the Sheens! The last name does the trick, eh? He didn't take his father's last name due to wanting to gain success by himself and it happened. 3 → Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson
 They're both blonde and share the same smile. Infact, they both won the 'Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture', Hawn's movie was 'Cactus Flower' and Hudson's was 'Almost Famous'. They have never been in a film together. 4 → Bruce & Brandon Lee
 Bruce Lee was known for his marital arts work on film and his son, Brandon, was best known for playing Eric Draven in 'The Crow'. Tragically, after Bruce died in 1973, his son followed 20 years later. Many theories have been made about their untimely deaths. 5 → Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen
 They are the ultimate give-in. Next! 6 → John & Joan Cusack
 Most of the Cusack family has been interested in the world of movies. They each have their own claim to fame, but have no problem working together on film. Together, they star in 'Martian Child', 'Cradle Will Rock', and 'War, Inc.'. 7 → The Wayans Brothers
 Keenen Ivory, Marlon. Shawn and Damon Wayans started in the acting business since the 80's and 90's. They've been a part of both sitcoms and movies; 'Blank Man', 'Scary Movie' series, 'White Chicks', 'Little Man' and more. 8 → Angelina Jolie & Jon Voight
 He became a star in the 1970's and she got her first leading role in 1995 in the movie, 'Hackers'. The first film they starred in together was 'Lookin' to Get Out' in 1982. He played her father in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', but since then, she has estranged herself from her father and they currently still aren't in touch. The funny thing about these two is that Voight and I have the same birthday and people tell me I look like Angelina. Whack! 9 → Luke & Owen Wilson
 First came Luke, then came Owen. They both starred in 'Rushmore', 'Bottle Rocket', and 'The Royal Tenenbaums' together. 10 → Jake & Maggie Gyllenhaal
 They're siblings in real life and played brother and sister in the 2001 film, 'Donnie Darko'. Did you know Jamie Lee Curtis [who also comes from famous parents] is Jake's godmother?

1 → Christmas Tree It's the obvious #1 Christmas decoration! I love decorating them [except for the fact that I have a million cats who'd love to wreck the tree]. Better invest in some plastic ornaments! 2 → Christmas Lights
 They are my favorite part of knowing when Christmas is near, although they can be a pain in the butt if the wires get all tangled up! 3 → Ornaments

Ornaments come in different shapes and sizes, but are commonly the round, colorful balls. You can create your own ornaments so that they are passed down in your family. 4 → Outdoor Displays
 These are fun for any season, but for Christmas, you've got your inflatable snowglobe and your Santa/sleigh/reindeer holographic light displays! 5 → Snowmen
 I personally was never good at making snowmen, but they are an adorable [and free] outdoor decoration! 6 → Candy Canes
 They could either be found hanging off a Christmas tree or taped to a Christmas card envelope. Either way, this yummy treat gives out the holiday vibe. 7 → Wreaths
 Since wreaths, in general, aren't just used for Christmas, a ribbon [usually red] signifys when it's being used as a Christmas decoration. Holly is also used within wreaths. 8 → Mistletoe
 As the story goes, if two people were to walk under a mistletoe, they'd have to share a kiss. So, if the holiday spirit doesn't make you joyful enough, just walk under a mistletoe :) 9 → Christmas Stockings
 These sock-shaped bags are hung during the holiday season in homes [extra goodies from Santa?] I've only had one Christmas stocking before; and it was '101 Dalamation'-themed. So, even if you don't have a fireplace, you can hang a stocking anywhere! 10 → Nutcrackers
 These wooden nutcrackers have been around for quite some time and are used mostly around Christmas, both as a decoration and the purpose of its' name. Enough said.
What do you decorate your homes with around Christmas time?

1 → Right Here in My Arms [ Watch The Music Video] From the album 'Razorblade Romance'This was the first HIM video I saw back before they were known in the US and it's been my favorite HIM song since.2 → Wicked Game
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004' Chris Isaak sang this song first when it came out in 1989, but when HIM covered it, I couldn't help but to love it just as much as the original. 3 → Join Me in Death
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'Razorblade Romance' This song has that 'Romeo + Juilet' vibe to it; it also has 4 different video versions. 4 → Razorblade Kiss
 From the album 'Razorblade Romance' I wish they had a video for this song. I definitely had an idea for a concept of one. Shucks! Great song, though. 5 → Killing Loneliness
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'Dark Light' The video for this song does indeed have Kat Von D gracing the camera. I absolutely love the set-up of the video. 6 → Heartache Every Moment
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004' 'From lashes to ashes and from lust to dust' is my favorite lyric from this song, even if it's about the end of a relationship. 7 → Rebel Yell
 [Watch The Video] From the single 'Buried Alive By Love' Another song covered by HIM, this time the original singer is Billy Idol. I think it's a great cover. 8 → And Love Said No
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997-2004' This HIM song feels so heart-grabbing. You could feel so much emotion in a vague way when you listen to this -- especially if you can relate to it. 9 → Resurrection
 [Watch The Live Video] From the album 'Razorblade Romance' This is my 2nd favorite HIM song about a love that can't work, but is desired to work it out and keep going. 10 → The Funeral of Hearts
 [Watch The Music Video] From the album 'Love Metal' 'When angels cry blood': in LOVE with that lyric; it's a wonderful song. According to Ville Valo, the song is about "that all things come to and end - but that their ending should be celebrated, not mourned."

1 → The Ren & Stimpy Show You can tell that this cartoon was not like the others, it had a different humor we probably didn't understand when we were younger. At least it's still funny when we watch it now! It lasted 5 seasons. 2 → Rocko's Modern Life
 It began in 1993 and ended in 1996; was also made into a comic book. If I can recall correctly, there was a neighborhood dog that looked just like Spunky..and named Spunky. Too good to be true. 3 → Hey Arnold!
 Who doesn't love the football head?! I remember one episode where they had my name in it *blush* This show has been on air from 1996 - 2004. Come back? 4 → Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

 'All That' had different but funny skits and also had music performances. It's actually returning to TV next year. Hello reruns! 6 → Salute Your Shorts
 The show's theme song = all the description you need to remember. 7 → The Secret World of Alex Mack
 I loved Alex Mack, so much that I wrote her fanmail and got her autograph in the mail, haha. Her turning into a silver liquid?! Classic. 8 → Clarissa Explains It All
 It had the teenage point of view and all, but who could forget the ladder outside Clarissa's window?! 9 → Double Dare
 Two words: MARC SUMMERS! This show was fun. 10 → Wild and Crazy Kids
 They had teams in which were determinded by the color of their shirts. it didn't last very long, but it was fun to watch.
