It is only September, but some people are already thinking about Christmas.

A special ornament was unveiled Thursday that's sponsored by the Princeton-Mercer County Chamber of Commerce.

It's the 20th year for the ornament.

This year's features Jimmie's Restaurant.

The American café was opened in the 1920s.

"It's just one of a kind," Mona Mosrie, with the restaurant, said. "It's like a mom and pop place, you know, there's not many of them left like this."

Jimmie's Restaurant is located at 839 Mercer Street and not much has changed inside.

The 10 booths with their own jukeboxes, soda fountain, counter and old cash register are signs of the 1950s when the remodeling was completed.

The ornament goes on sale during AutumnFest later this month.
