These are some of the things Marblehead hopes to find under its tree this Christmas.
As local residents gear up for Christmas, here are our picks for five things we think Marblehead would hope to find under its tree this year: 1. The Warwick Site completed - The construction of a new 38,000-square-foot building at the former site of the Warwick Theatre is picking up steam. Although a new theater is not yet part of the final plan, Save the Warwick has been campaigning for its inclusion in the new building. 2. Another year of MHS State Championships - In 2011, local residents celebrated as the local Marblehead High School's hockey, swimming, skiing and sailing teams took home titles. Another banner year would make for a great Christmas present. 3. The Return of Food and Ice Cream - After a fire forced the owners of 5 Corners…

It happens every year. Christmas music starts cropping up around Thanksgiving and for a week or two we tolerate it -- and many of us actually like it. Then, we move closer to Christmas and each note of an Andy Williams or Mitch Miller song makes our blood pressure rise. There's only so much mirth one person can take! Then there's the sappy song like Wham's tune or the corny songs from legends like The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, Eartha Kitt or Dean Martin. And then, there's Feliz Navidad, 12 Days of Christmas and no list of painful Christmas music is complete without Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. So, we want to know -- which Christmas song are you most tired of? If we don't have your choice in the poll, let us know in the comment …
