My favorite Christmas decoration is actually a tie. This old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer we have. My Grandpa made it himself. It's a four-piece figure made of wood and i remember as a kid the funnest thing of decorating was putting it together. The legs to the body and the antlers to his head. I love everything about it, the paint thats wearing on its nose and eyes, the jungle bell fastened about his neck. Even the smell makes me smile. It's one of the only things my brother and I have to remember him.
The other is a miniature talking Christmas tree named Douglas my folks got for me and my brother to put in our shared room at our old house. It was like a house warming gift since it was the first Christmas at our (then) new home. It was a riot. It had eyes that lit up, eye lips that moved, and a mouth that reacted to his speech. He came with four songs and about 5 sayings. It was really state of the art at the time i remembered because it was motion censored so that when you passed he'd belt "Deck the Halls" or a corny line like, "You know, I shook limbs with Blitzen" and he'd wink. It was great. But yeah, those are my most favorite Christmas decorations ever.
