Fav ornaments are the ones w stories or memories attached…passed down from family or the ones made in elementary school.
We have boxes and boxes of family ornaments – they are all my favourites! things I made as a child, things my kids made as children, now my granddaughter is adding to it! The beautiful ornaments my late sister would give us every year. My mothers’ ornaments from the 40’s and 50s’. Our tree is full to the brim every year and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The star on top of the Christmas tree – crowning glory! 🙂

My favorite ornament is a glass ball I gave to my Mom. She passed away a few years ago, so this ornament is very special to me. It hangs on my tree every year in her memory.
I love snowflake ornaments.

Love those wooden ornaments that move when you add a candle. (not sure what they are called)
I love, love, love going out to Squamish and cutting down our own tree! And then decorating with the ornaments I’ve had since I wass a little girl.
My favourite holiday decoration is this shriveled and almost mummified orange covered with cloves. My mom had it when I was a child, as long as I can remember, and she still has it! It smells like Christmas too me.

I love the handcrafted ornaments that we’ve purchased over the years at Christmas markets. I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when I hang our ‘1st Christmas together’ (with my wife) and the ‘1st family Xmas’ (wife and our ‘fur’ babies) ornaments!
