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 would have to say my favorite is a snowman whose bottom is a bell..Holly gave it to me the Christmas before she moved to NY..as a combination ornie and bell for my bell collection..it is adorable and I love it ...

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.
I have a few thay are what my DC and DGC have made me over the years I have one real Favorite and that is what my mother gave us our first year Its abride and groom in Christmas getup and it has angels flying over them and it glowes in the dark

Oh Bunny, you will be truly missed by your FC friends God's speed.
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
