Hard to choose just one or two, even! I'll pick three for now and know there's too many others to list. :elf1:
-Santa standing next to a chimney....Mom did it in ceramics the year I was born and gave it to me to keep, several years ago.
-Three Wise Men ceramics that my Grandma did in ceramics...my Aunt gave them to me a few years back.
-My Rudolph cuckoo clock....gieven to me Thanksgiving Eve a few years back.
These three items are on display, year round, so they aren't even put away to enjoy once a year.

they all sound lovely . especially the ceramic set and the singing snowman.
i remembered that we have a set of silver bells that i was given with the santa
figurine they are just as old and have the remnants of spray on snow from when i
was a child. how cool.

I hate that one too it's sooo cute!
My grandparents' Christmas train set! I wish I had it, but I'm sure it's sitting in my grandpa's closet. He hasn't done much for Christmas since my grandma died. I'd sure like to have that train; lots of good memories. It was such a neat train.
I like my nativity set, too, but I've never used it yet; I got it on clearance after Christmas 08, so it hasn't seen any action yet, but just one more month and it will!

My favorite decoration is an elegant victorian butterfly ornament I found in a Christmas store several years ago in Rockefeller Center in NY (the store closed and got replaced by Swarovski unfortunately).

My favorite is the live mistletoe and holly that I've been putting up around the house for the past 2 years. It reminds me of days of old. :love:

I guess my favorite decoration is a Christmas ball that is made of plastic in WWII. It is a bit faded and has a design on one side of candles and on the other side it says "Merry X-Mas". My mother gave it to me a long time ago. It was on her tree during the Second World War and she gave it to me.

The old faded ornaments are some of my favorites- all the memories they hold! All the Christmases they've looked down on!

Me too! I love wreaths with big red bows. I love all of my decorations. It would be so hard to choose. I have several snowmen and santas that I love and a collection of Christmas houses. My favorite is a beautiful house lit up with Christmas lights. I decided to keep it out and not pack it away. I also love my Chritmas dishes. I could go on and on.....this is making me excited!

I can imagine you right now!!!! :elf1: :elf1: :elf1:
Well, I guess, Im a lot like you in my decoration...
Too much Christmas traditional, afraid (I guess) to make big changes to yor decoration and full of ornaments/toys/things, that take you back to your childhood.. And so much more..
Correct me if Im wrong............... :elf1: :elf1: :elf1:

A tiny pinecone ornament painted light blue with silver sparkles.
It's a bird with a small paper mache head and beak. It also has red sparkle eyes. It lost its wings and tail many years ago. My parents bought it for me when I was 6 back in 1962. It was my very first ornament! It always is hung in a very special place of honor on the tree for the last 47 years!

I found my photos. I wonder which one I was going to post. Today I can't think of a favorite because I love them all so much! Maybe the figures I put in the window are my favorite:

I just tried to make an album, but I got a message: Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing. I don't know what that means!

Beautiful ornaments but $375?!?! Are you kidding me? For that price, it should be pure gold...but the description did say they were collected by the rich and famous...well, again, this could be a very easy craft project and would mean a whole lot more...not mention -- think how many Christmas presents you can buy with $375! :presents2:

My favorite Christmas decoration is my collection of Santas. I start to smile when I unpack them and put them out and they make me smile everytime I look at them.

To be honest, I got crazy with The lady in red ornament!!!!
