sleigh bells on the front door. i have another one on the door into the garage. we always had some when i was a kid and i LOVE the sound. it's so "christmassy" if that's a word. it also makes it hard to enter the house without announcing yourself... i might need to remember this when the kids are teenagers and have a curfew to meet. ;-) it might be christmas all year long!
