There are so many sweet memories to relive. I must start doing that too.Autumn Bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-46137451165206685062009-12-20T09:11:35.857-05:002009-12-20T09:11:35.857-05:00The price of an ornament doesn&#39;t matter a bit - not with such great memories wrapped up in them all. Great blog!<br /><br />We have the same thing on our tree - my mom was going to get rid of all the ornaments I&#39;d grown up with as a kid, ornaments from the early years of their marriage. I had a conniption fit, and the box came home with me. There are LOTS of mice with the fuzz rubbed off, paper snowmen with torn paper, missing carrot noses and fading stocking caps... but they&#39;re too special not to display every year.<br /><br />This christmas stuff - it&#39;s all about the tradition. :o)Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18289735991474203921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-80092136429809228852009-12-19T21:01:11.496-05:002009-12-19T21:01:11.496-05:00They look like great ornaments to me. It&#39;s the memories they evoke that matter the most and it sounds like yours keep many Christmas moments in your heart.

Of course, taking them down was never as much fun! Especially when you have to remove all those stringy metallic &quot;icicles&quot; to reuse the next year!Dreamybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-76318546727012670402009-12-15T15:45:56.044-05:002009-12-15T15:45:56.044-05:00Sniff...the story about the little drummer boy and angel ornaments that Nana made is a real tear jerker. I know Nana will be looking down on these cherished moments!<br /><br />Sounds like this tree belongs on the Island of Misfits Toys, lol!<br /><br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-81793549327040133392009-12-15T14:17:11.160-05:002009-12-15T14:17:11.160-05:00Bravo, Wendy. So true. The people, memories and love behind the symbols are what count. I&#39;ve got this miniature plastic nativity, A-frame with lots of tacky glitter. Several years ago I found it at a thrift store. It was identical to one that adorned Christmas trees of my childhood. Nice post as usual, Wendy.Grace Petersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06902499537311241849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-4032219967480807112009-12-15T11:13:27.858-05:002009-12-15T11:13:27.858-05:00I love that you save bits of you past trees in the Santa ornament.

It is great that you are keeping your old ones alive, while making new ones.<br />Have a great Christmas.Deborah at Kilbourne Grovehttp://kilbournegrove.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-76986572036830253262009-12-14T22:49:14.946-05:002009-12-14T22:49:14.946-05:00I have those plastic candy cane too! I really like that cross-stitched Little Drummer Boy very much. You have kept it well - still looking very new! Also that glass ornament look so cute. Your daughter has great taste. <br /><br />The evidence/stories that Santa holds for your family is truly admirable :-DStephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.com
