OT for my friends who have Christmas Trees

What hangs on your tree? Are the ornaments store-bought, homemade,
made by the kids, knitted, or crocheted?

Mine are a mixture of homemade and store bought. Some come from places
that we have been to and others are from my in-laws vacation trips.
Some are cross stitched, plastic canvas, but most are beaded. I don't
have any crocheted ornaments, only chains that my DD has stitched and
tied into bows.

I wish a Peacefull and Warm Holiday filled with Joy to all my RCTY
friends.

I have a mixture of everything on our tree! Even stuff my kids
made in school when they were little. They still have fun looking
round the tree at *their* ornaments and laughing about them,
remembering when they made them. Some of them are little cut-out type
ornies that have their school pictures inside the middle. I put the
good glass/ornamental things up near the top of the tree and progress
to the wooden/cross stitched/plushy things near the bottom. That way
the cats can't do as much damage. The Christmas tree is the nearest
thing they get to a *billiards* table you know....No tinsel though,
makes the furballs sick.....Have a bunch-well a ton really- of the mini
multi-colored lights all over it too.
Marie and the cats- wishing everyone a Happy Holiday-Merry Christmas

Mine are a mix as well.

Some of them are made by children, some of them are hand-made by
professional crafters, some of them are shop bought.

None of them are knitted or crotcheted, although I do have some plastic
canvas ones. I did knit one from recycled sari yarn, but it turned
out rather shapless, so I frogged it. I might try making a ball with it:
that would reflect the light beautifully.

WIP: crotchet blanket, spotted fake fur cushion cover, jumper for me
After that... jumper for ds, cushion for dd,

Mine are a mix too. Only one is made with yarn. (a mother and child
that are basically made of tassels with wooden bead heads) One is a
construction paper
card with my DD's picture as a baby in it and one a star than DS#2 made
in pre-school . DS#1's star finally got too fragile to hand last year.
THe DGD's have added a few too. The rest are a real mix of decorations
acquired over the years. That is my main tree in the living room.
There is also a doll tree - a small articificial one (the main one is
real) - which is decorated with tiny ornaments. It is small enough
that I store it decorated with all but the most fragile ornaments. I
always choose one or two dolls dressed in pajamas to gather by the tree
- and have little packages and doll sized toys underneath. This tree is
in the family room.

My tree has a mix of ornaments on them. Store-bought, and homemade.

Some of my ornaments are also ornaments that my nephew has made me over
the years so it's a wonderful feeling.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Mine's a mix too..everything from an wood orca (from being stationed in
Iceland - like I didn't have
a big enuf reminder of that time in my 13-yr old DD LOL! ) to this year's
fake Credit Card ! Whenever we
get the credit card offers in the mail, we usually give them to our 9 yr-old
DD to play with..but she
thought to put one on the tree this year. Funny Child!

DD2 arrived home on Wednesday and set about getting us ready for Christmas,
in other words putting up decorations. We have 2 Christmas trees in our
small(ish) living/dining room, both artificial (can't cope with the
smell/needles) the larger of which has a variety of things on it varying
from little ornaments mad e by the children when they were small to corn
dolly type ornaments in various shapes. There are a few hand sewn quilted
ornaments, made by a friend and sold at a charity Christmas bazaar and on
the top is the angel I crocheted when we first got married (30+ years ago)
with a large bead for a head and a large sequin for a halo. Looks a bit sad
now but there is NO substitute. If I could work out how to make another (or
found the pattern: unlikely) I'd make one for each of the children for their
own trees, maybe when the grandchildren come along. The other tree is a
fibre-optic one that glitters and flashes and which Ann has dressed with a
selection of crocheted and stiffened stars I made last year for the bazaar
and which didn't sell, so I took that as a sign that they were ours. And
they look good on the little tree. We've also got just about the most
flashing lights I think I've ever seen, in various rooms. Not quite
headache making, but almost! She is now a happy bunny, she loves Christmas
and making everything look sparkly
Hope everyone else has just what makes them happy
Love & higs
