Aaron and I are in PA for the holidays with our family. I look forward to it for months but leaving behind all the decorations I painstakingly hung for the season is a bummer.
Our Christmas tree is especially interesting. We have been very particular about what ornaments we get for it. Each one is carefully considered. As a result the ornaments say a lot about us. You can also sort of tell who picked which ones. Aaron... Boba Fett and Spiderman. Jenny... a mushroom and a tortoise. Aaron would hang a fleet of scooters if he could find them. I would like a whole family of bunnies.
We do the same. We get ornaments that mean something to us instead of themes. My husband has the Bobba Fet as well. I go the strawberry shortcake, cabbage patch and my little pony ruite. All favorites from both of our childhoods. Merry Christmas!

Most of our ornaments are handmade crocheted ones that my dh's mom and grandmother made. They made enough of each one that each child had a set when they left home...I need to get started with that. Learning to crochet is in order, I guess...maybe I'll just make felt ones.
spider man looks like he's wearing some kind of crazy shriners hat!
ReplyDeleteSo what do you do with all the random ornaments that people gift to you? I am a teacher and every year I get TONS of ornaments from kids. I hang them on the tree, but many are from Walmart. I don't feel good about hanging those, and the kids will never know...Usually I give them to my mom.
ReplyDeleteThat is not nice.
