I remember when Hallmark first started coming out with the Star Trek christmas ornaments, back in 1991 for Star Treks 25th Anniversary. It was the original series Enterprise.
I had just started getting into Star Trek that summer, and I thought with my family being Hallmark ornament collectors, that this was simply awesome and was going to happen. However, my father just thought it was a phase I was going through, and didn't want to buy the ornament.
Fast Forward a year, and the new price guides come out, and my mom smacks my dad with it. That ornament jumped in value to over a hundred bucks.
He stuck to his guns, despite the costumes, the conventions, the charity work I did before branching out to other areas of science fiction, but finally broke down after he realized the family was getting every OTHER Star Trek ship ornament made since then, and picked it up ten years later, still in the hundred dollar range.

Hopefully hot choc will be under tree. ;)
