Christmas Ornaments Day 24 and 25
From now until Christmas I am going to post one picture a day of an ornament that means something to me and why. I hope it will get me back into the habit of writing again and I think it it’s a neat idea and some interesting things can come out. So spread the cheer.
I had some internet problems last night so I am posting yesterday and todays. Since its Christmas I do have more than two ornaments posted. Merry Christmas!
This ornament is one that I like but is also a favorite of my dad’s. My mom got it at a craft show about six years ago. Kathleen and Samantha also got one though Samantha has hers up in Rhode Island. The only difference is in the shades of purple in the hat. I love snowmen and the color purple so for me it’s a no brainers. It’s also one of those unique ornaments that you don’t find on every tree and that make it more special. I love having handmade items on the tree we have some truly special ornaments that way and the stories behind them make them invaluable.
We all love the Muppets in our household. One of he reason skier Kermit and is still on our tree year after year hanging in there even though he is missing pieces. This one reminds me of growing up watching the Muppets sing on their own shoes and specials. I was amused to see them singing with Andrea Botticelli on Jingle Bells. Now if only they would put the old Christmas specials on DVD...
This ornament is from Aggie and Billy and is jointly owned by my sister and I. We both love it and while at the time we go it we certainly both wished that would happen I like to think that now we wouldn’t wish that. At least not most days.
This ornament was a birthday gift from my sister. We both love the angels made by Willow Tree. She got me this one because it’s a familiar position for me to be in reading a book.
Not ornaments but an important part of the family Christmas. My father is a Christmas Carol fanatic. I have seen almost every Christmas Carol version that has been made with him at one point or another. It really is his fandom. So every year Aggie has been getting him carolers from the Christmas Carol. As you can see he has quite the collection and it keeps growing. He is still missing some key pieces. Thought Aggie did mention something about a Dickens village she wants to start him on of she couldn’t find a caroler this year at her usual haunts.
We are spending the day at home because of crummy weather just watching movies and spending the day relaxing. Tomorrow we are going to all the visiting we wanted to do today as long as the weather holds.
