I have many that I like.My Aunt started us on a tradition w/ a Hallmark dated ornament 32 years ago! Well, since then I have bought a dated ornament w/ a pic or theme that pertained to that year. when DD#1 was born I bought one w/ 1 lil girl (prescious moments) next year was DD#2- so I one w/ 2 lil girls- etc!
When girls were in figure skating- that year bought a skating ornament, I still grin when I look at 1989 at a lil bear playing hockey w/ the number 89 on back & SON on shirt- yup the year was a hockey player ! Then all the ones w/ rotties on them & the one w/ a pic of our rottie Baron, inside -it is a heartbreaker !
Sometimes decorating the tree takes hours, as I stop & look & reminece (sp)? forever. Now the dated grandchildren ones are coming- ahhh!
Well when we first married and I arrived here in Germany.... the first XMAS we didn't have much...so my mom (bless her soul) made us 2 cartons of handcrocheted and crafted, knitted
Great question Ann, I have two angels made from popscicle sticks when DH was a kid. MIL gave them to me several years ago. So when my boys were about the same age .. They made them as well. They are just beautiful & all four of them are very special :)
i would have to say the one i got in the exchange..the ones that i did have before got lost when we moved here, they were all my kids handprints when they were one and the ones they made me in Kindergarden, i was so upset 2 yrs ago when i found out the movers didnt grab the boxes of my Christmas stuff in our garage
Hmmm, I have several ornaments I really like....
I like a white dove with a little heart strung around it's neck - I always hang it near the top of my tree.
