ORNAMENTS I LOVE….

Christmas trees are everywhere you turn; different colors, sizes, matching home décor- you name it! My Christmas tree is a memory… We always have a live tree, and colorful ornaments.  I love taking out ornaments from the boxes; first go lights (every year there is a problem with bulbs!), then pretty colorful ornaments, and then… a box with memories…. to make our tree “ours.”


We collect one or two ornaments each year to reflect our special occasions from that year or travels. Kids love to discuss each of them, a lot of questions and laughs.

 You know that a bird in your tree is good luck? We have a few in ours – because more birds equal more good luck! Place it near the center, on a branch – to watch over you this season.


Looking for a unique gift for someone special? This handmade ornament is so very cool. It comes in other colors and is a conversation piece and a show stopper. It will surely be treasured by the recipient!

What is your favorite ornament and why? Do you have traditions or collections when it comes to your holiday ornaments? I’d love to hear about them!
