What is your favorite Christmas ornament & why?
It is a tiny little snowman with the bottom spot open with the round picture of my daughter when she was like three years old. I love this ornament. I put it on the tree every year.
That sounds adorable!
Who can pick just one?! My favorites are from my childhood. Also the ornaments my daughter made in preschool.
🐸👌
I have kept a glass onion from my childhood, it was my from my Dad's childhood, I dare not hang it some years, the years of young children and puppies and kittens. I place it high. My Dad grew up dirt poor in NYC, born in 1910, his mother came to this country and she worked hard, his story is that it was one of the first ornaments that she bought, when she could afford it. It's very precious to me, its faded, I guess it used to be yellow, now its a dingy brown. I try not to get sentimental about material things, but it is a link to all of those who have passed on.
That sounds lovely. I love old family memories. I’ve tried to not keep so much material things as I get older. I live in a very small house and don’t have as much room as I once did. I have kept several dishes and tea cups from my grandma and great grandma. My daughter thinks the Lord’s Prayer plate (with picture of the last supper) is tacky. It probably is but it was on my great grandmother’s wall forever and I live in the same house now. It will always be hung as long as I’m living. I still keep a cigar box that was my grandfather’s. They kept photos in those boxes. Also they don’t make things now the way they did fifty, etc years ago.
That's sweet you still have the plate🐸 I still have several of my grandfather's old cigar boxes as well!
Oh that is lovely, thank you for sharing🐸
I do custom ornaments, it’s my first year. In my town gobs are highly coveted. (Imposters are called Whoopie Pies, lol) I persuaded my Mom to give me her treasured secret gob recipe and put it on an ornament.
I’m so happy that she chose to share a recipe with me to help my new business and l’m glad to honor her with it. I’m smiling as I type this.
I think I’m gonna make it a series. Her nut bread is amazing …
What a clever idea! Best of luck to you🐸
