Two tiny trains orbit a clock perched atop a mountain in this timepiece that teeters on the edge of hokeyness. But not quite. It's borderline cool. Made by Mr. Christmas, the mini-trains do their revolving thing around that clock when you wind up its stem. Listen carefully and you'll hear a rousing rendition of "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Oh, I get it — just to pass the time away.

If that's not quite the representation of the Currier and Ives Christmas that rings your sleighbells, you might opt for a similar version with sleighs circling the clock instead of trains. Either way, you're only out $19.47 if this QVC bauble doesn't quite work out. If neither one of those does the trick, maybe you'd like this 21st-century pocketwatch.
