Favorite sleigh bells effect: once I was running in one of those ridiculous "jingle bell" races they love to have in December, where everyone has bells on creating a crazy bells-invasion sound, and listening to a repeating loop of "Marquee Moon" on the earbuds. Every time it got to that pause in the song, there was a rhythmic, pulsating "jingjingjing." Now when I hear the song it feels like it's missing that part.

Not breaking my lifelong embargo on anything that smacks of a request, but the greedies and/or reducers would make this a merry jingle indeed.
