A HORTON FAMILY TRADITION:

THE HORTON ORNAMENTS





"Days of Our Lives" celebrates Christmas each year with the long-standing tradition of the hanging of the Horton Christmas ornaments on the tree at Alice's house. It was stated in 1966 that Grandma Horton (Tom's mother) made the original seven ornaments (Tom, Alice, Mickey, Bill, Addie, Marie, Tommy). Those seven ornaments made their first appearance in 1966, and were seen on the tree from 1967-1970. In 1971, the Horton ornament ceremony first aired. That year, Alice began making ornaments for the rest of the family, and for the first time, we saw the Horton family place the ornaments on the tree. Information for the years of 1972-1982 is not yet fully available, so this page deals with the Horton Ornament ceremonies held since 1983. Since that year, 82 characters have been seen at the annual ceremony: 43 Horton family members (which includes the quick marriages of Lucas to Nicole; Jennifer to Peter; and Mickey to Bonnie) as well as 39 guests (only Abe, Belle, Billie, Chase, Chloe, Emilio, Gabi, John, Lani, Marlena, Sami, Theo and Victor have attended more than once as a guest). The least amount of people to ever attend was 5 in 1983 and 2010. The most amount of people to ever attend was 21 in 2004. 43 characters (including two erroneously given to Carrie and Stephanie, see notes below) have received a Horton ornament on the tree since 1983, and a total of 69 characters have had an ornament through the years.

*With the divorces of Trish, Peter, Nicole, Bonnie and Chloe, these five ornaments have been retired. Faith's also has been retired (she had yet to marry Scott by the time they left Salem in 1990)

**Carrie's & Stephanie's ornaments have never been explained. It was never stated that Mike married Carrie, but her ornament was introduced after both had left the show in 1999. It was seen as recently as 2005 in the ornament box, right next to Mike's, and has been retired since then. Stephanie was engaged to Nathan, but never married him, yet her ornament showed up in 2013, long after both had left Salem.





In 2001, "Days" aired a special Christmas episode. As part of the episode, ten special ornaments were hung to honor the memory of the many lives lost on 9/11. The ten ornaments shown were: FDNY, NYPD, EMT, Father Mychal Judge, Larry Virgilio, Joe Sacerdote, Susan Pollio, Sal Zisa, Steve Schlag, and a picture of the American flag. Here are links to tributes from CNN.com: Father Mychal Judge , Susan Pollio , Joseph Sacerdote , Steven Schlag , Lawrence Virgilio , Salvatore Zisa .

Christmas Notes: 1983- Present





1983: An undercover Roman, as Santa Claus, sneaks into a comatose Carrie's room and reads her the Christmas story, helping her to wake up...Liz sings many songs: "The Christmas Song", "White Christmas", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Jingle Bells", and "Deck the Halls."



1984: On the Christmas Eve episode, the cast sings "O Little Town of Bethlehem" as a Christmas wreath is featured over the "Days" credits. On the Christmas Day episode, the Hortons sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Deck the Halls", "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World." At the end of the episode, the rest of the cast featured in the episode (Andrea Barber/Carrie, Jolina Collins/Jasmine, John deLancie/Eugene, Leann Hunley/Anna, Thaao Penghlis/Tony, Arleen Sorkin/Calliope, and Herschel the dog) arrive at the Hortons as the cast wishes everyone a Merry Christmas. Macdonald Carey and Frances Reid address the audience directly, and look straight into the camera as they say "Merry Christmas, to each and every one of you."



1985: Liz plays the piano and sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Jingle Bells", and "I'll Be Home for Christmas"...The cast sings "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and "Joy to the World."





1986: The only "unnamed" ornament ever appears on the tree. Alice gives Bo and Hope an ornament which says "Baby." It's for the yet-to-be-born (and yet-to-be-named) Shawn Douglas...The cast sings "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."





1987: The cast sings "Joy to the World"...The Bradys sing "Silent Night"...Justin sings to Adrienne.





1988: The cast sings "Joy to the World"...The Bradys sing "Silent Night."





1989: Emilio sings "Jingle Bell Rock" to the kids at the hospital...An instrumental version of "Silent Night" plays as many Salemites are featured in the final act.





1990: Mickey, Maggie, Julie, Jennifer, Sarah and Melissa present a very special version of Tom and Alice's song "Always"...The Bradys sing "Silent Night"..."Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" plays over the final act as various Salemites are seen.





1991: The Bradys sing all 3 verses of "Silent Night"...Charlayne Woodard (as Desiree McCall) sings a wonderful a capella version of "O Holy Night"...Alice and Tom end the show by wishing each other Merry Christmas.





1992: The Bradys sing "Silent Night"...Jack quips to his mother, Jo: "Apparently if you get your name on a ball, you're in for life"...Joy Garrett (as Jo) hangs Abigail's new ornament (she dies 7 weeks after the episode aired)





1993: The Bradys sing "Joy to the World"...Lisa Rinna (as Billie) sings a chilling version of "Oh Holy Night" at St. Luke's (just as a kidnapped baby Belle is reunited with mom Marlena)...Tom and Alice read the Christmas story together to the hospital kids (Macdonald Carey dies less than 3 months later)...for the only time ever, a "Merry Christmas from Days of Lives" tag airs just after the episode ends





1994: Alice states that "All the people who keep Tom Horton in their hearts are Hortons."...The Bradys sing "Silent Night" at St. Luke's...this episode features the most unusual Christmas episode ending ever: a shot of a possessed Marlena floating above her bed





1995: Alice's only Christmas episode ever missed...The kids in Aremid sing "Away in a Manger"...The 3 verses of "Silent Night" are beautifully split between the three groups: The Bradys sing the first verse; the Hortons sing the second verse; and the kids in Aremid sing the third verse.

1996: The cast sings "Silent Night" a capella, with the scene ending on Frances Reid's face...The Bradys sing "Joy to the World" at St. Luke's, and it blends right into The Hortons singing "O Come All Ye Faithful", with Alice flashing back to her memories of Tom from Christmas 1991...The episode ends on a picture of Tom and Alice from Christmas 1991 and the words "Merry Christmas Mac, We Still Miss You" appear on the screen.

1997: A various portion of the cast sings "Oh Holy Night" at Salem Place in mid-December...The Bradys sing "Joy to the World."

1998: An instrumental version of "Silent Night" plays over various scenes of Salemites.





1999: Chloe sings "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night" to awaken Nancy in her hospital bed...The Bradys sing "Hark the Herald Angel Sing"...As mentioned above, an ornament for Carrie is seen on the tree (this is the only time someone not related to a Horton by marriage is seen with an ornament).





2000: Alice sees Tom's ghost through the use of flashbacks of Tom being edited into the show.





2001: A very special out-of-character episode, the first ever in "Days" history...Airing just several months after the 9/11 attacks, this episode looks back over "Days" of Christmas past with many flashbacks being shown, and the actors (as themselves) speaking directly to the camera...special 9/11 ornaments are seen on the tree along with the Horton family ornaments...in the final act, the actors turn back into their characters and Chloe and Brady are seen singing the full version of "Silent Night."





2002: "The Christmas Song" is played during the final act.





2003: The Brady/Chloe "Silent Night" duet is featured in the final act as various Salemites are seen.





2004: In a comedic scene, Bonnie's ornament is so huge it topples the tree...baby Jack Patrick gets his first ornament (by next year, his ornament has been changed to Jack Jr. as Patrick was phased out of Jennifer's storyline by then)...The Bradys sing the first verse of "O Come All Ye Faithful" at St. Luke's, blending right into the Hortons singing the next verse at the hospital...the episode ends with Alice alone and she speaks directly to the camera.





2005: The episode ends with a repeat of 2004's final scene, where Alice speaks directly to the camera. An unsual occurence, since Frances Reid did appear in new scenes during this episode.





2006: Clay Aiken sings "Everything I Have" as various Salemites are shown. Mickey's absence is explained with him delivering donations to shelters. Alice speaks directly to the camera as Clay Aiken's song ends.

2007: The ornament hanging is intercut with scenes of Max reading the Christmas story at the hospital (where Nick is playing an elf)...Jeremy Horton's ornament is broken...Bill Hayes (Doug) leads a sing-along of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" as other Salemites are shown...the episode ends with Stefano and Rolf injecting a needle into a mysterious patient (who would turn out to be John).



2008: Chloe's ornament breaks. As Doug plays the piano, Chloe sings "Silent Night."



2009: Alice and Mickey are said to be in the kitchen...the ornaments are hung in one brief instrumental scene at Bo & Hope's House..."Silent Night" is sung at the hospital...As Nathan reads the Christmas story, Maggie has a flashback of Tom reading the story.
