What is your favorite ornament?

Is your favorite ornament one made by one of your children, a family heirloom, one from your childhood, from your first tree?

I have several actually - an old clear glass, etched ornament from my late grandmother's tree, an old plastic Santa I had as a child, so old that it is now slightly orange instead of red and one made by my daughter when she was in preschool.

Merry Christmas!

I have a few, too. One is from my great grandmother's tree, it's a simple blue mercury ball. Another is a picture of my son in 6th grade. I have garland that my aunt made that resembles popcorn. The tree isn't complete without that.

Gosh! I don't think I could pick just one. I have my ornaments from when my children were babies. Then, I have one from when my DGD was 6 months of age and we have an ornament that has a recording of her then. I have several racing ornaments. I also have some that are handmade by me that will be passed down. I have an African-American angel that matches my African-American angel. Okay, since I don't know where to stop, I will just have to stop! lol

I love Cristmas ornament! But I do have favorites. From my childhood, I have one that is a half walnut shell with a bead with a baby Jesus face painted on it & a little gingam blanket tucked around him. Then there are what I call the face ornaments with a pic of my step son when in preK & my ds in K. I also have some nails thruout the tree & a crown of thorns placed over the top of the tree, as a reminder that without the cross there is no reason to celebrate the birth.

Bunny I know how you must cherish the bride/groom one your Mom gave you.
I have one that Adam made when he was in K-garten, One that is a beautiful glass ball with green pine and cardinal (that was my Mom's) in this fam cardinals rank high because of Mom's love for them, And of course I have some frog ornaments that mean a lot to me because they are frogs but also because of who sent/gave them to me and ONE of them Margaret sent to me will forever cherish that one too. Merry Christmas all and God bless
