It's that time of year again...an early Christmas present for "Days" fans...

Cryptic clues, Horton ornaments, Stefano, someone's child returns, Santa, even Sonny is around for these episodes.

6 weeks to go until the Christmas episodes.

Let's get started later tonight!

Well let's hope they actually USE Billie some before she takes off in the new year.

Someone's child? I wonder if either JJ or Joey will finally be shown.

Someone's child? I wonder if either JJ or Joey will finally be shown.

There has been casting videos for J.J. YouTube so he is a definite possibility. I wonder though if Jason's hint about a child isn't actually that the character is a child themselves, like it being Melissa, who I hope for everyday to make a permanent return.

UPDATE # 4: CHRISTMAS EPISODES TO FEATURE 40 REGULAR CHARACTERS!!

Also: 13 attendees at this year's Horton Ornament ceremony!

I'm glad we are back to the Ornament hanging at Christmas and not the beginning of December like last year.

LOL I hope it's not Melanie.

It's probably going to be Parker, and his return paves the way for Chloe to come back to Salem.

I'm sticking with J.J.

Definitely JJ or Joey.
