O Christmas Tree

Here is our main
Christmas Tree.

It is jammed packed
with ornaments that we
have collected over the years.
All have a meaning.
The most meaniful, of course,
are ones that hold pictures of my kids,
held in place by frames they made at school.

Here are a few others
that are favorites too.


This represents our home.



Last year was the first time
I've ever had an owl visit.
My sister gave me this to
remember Oscar.



A favorite Santa



Gotta have my mittens,
even inside.  Love rustic things too.


A crystal snowflake I made.
No picture I can take
is able to show the sparkle of these.
Now, are those of you that encouraged me
to continue posting my decorations
sorry you did?  :)

Thank you for sharing your decorations. The gingerbread house is super cute and the owl is just adorable. But the Santa is my favorite. I love Christmas. I can't believe so many people are not decorating only because their kids are no longer at home. How sad. An home with no decorations is like an empty heart. That is just my opinion. They don't have to go all out like alot of us do, but atleast a tree.

Lovely tree, Jill. I'll take a tree filled with those ornaments that have a story behind them or some sentimenal value over a tree that is "color coordinated" with perfect ( and usually, expensive) ornaments hanging on it. Your angel is beautiful. Keep posting your Christmas decorations--they are a real treat. Mickie :)

Your tree is beautiful! Thank you for sharing some of your favorite ornaments with us. (We're still undecided about whether to put up our tree. We figure Sundae may take it down as quickly as it goes up..?).
