For Castle, his family, and the 12^th precinct crew, it is now the season of holidays, snow, hot chocolate, and holiday songs.  To get in the spirit, we gathered several pictures and tweets from the archives of Christmas past.

It seems Castle had problems in the past with holiday songs and getting them stuck in his head.

How is that silly holiday songs are the easiest to get stuck in yourhead? How come I never get any Bach or Mozart on repeat up there?

Jingle Bell Rock is stuck in my head… I need a brain/palate cleanser before I lose my mind… suggestions?

Just when he thought he was clear of “Jingle Bell Rock” …

I finally got it out of my head (thanks for your suggestions) only to have Santa Baby play on the radio…

Castle also tweeted about his adventures with mistletoe.  I wonder if he ever caught Beckett under the mistletoe, maybe this year?

Attention Ladies: Hanging the mistletoe above the front door. Letthe bell start ringing.

Wonderful thing about mistletoe is you have to kiss anyone under it. Dangerous thing about mistletoe is you have to kiss anyone under it.

We also included a picture Seamus tweeted of his father’s Christmas card and a crew member in the holiday spirit.

“My Dad’s Christmas card this year. 32nd edition”

“Castle set is very festive.”
