Hello, and welcome to the site. I bought some homemade ornaments on eBay for my granddaughter. She's married and they have a three-year-old and a baby, so they want ornaments that won't break.

We have so many keepsake ornaments now that it's all we have room for on our tree! My son has a 5 foot tree that he decorates with a variety of shatterproof ornaments.

Have you ever posted an indoor picture of your tree, Mike?

Christmas is a fun time, full of joy, as we get ready for the exciting and thrilling celebrations around us. Every year Christmas decorations should go up on the 1st of December with the festive parties, and come down on the first week of January after having a great Christmas and New Year celebration.

[ornamentmaven]

We have primarily keepsake ornaments as well. We always use them with a theme color for the garland/beads and matching ornaments to carry that color theme throughout the tree

Kerry, no offense, but you do realize that this is a Christmas forum, made up of people who love Christmas, and that nobody on this forum needs to be instructed as to what Christmas is, right?

Wow. :xmashigh5:

I'm sorry, Olga. I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It's just that that type of post is how spammers often start out. I am not saying kerrykelin IS a spammer but I just don't understand why some people feel the need to explain what Christmas means in general. It isn't as if the one's that do this are sharing what they love, personally, about Christmas. Do any of us really need to be told that Christmas is a time when Christmas decorations are put up in early December and taken down in early January??

[Merry Christmas Darling]

Well, having been around those with special needs, and those who have autism, I can say that autistic people tend to offer information that they have been taught. It's very difficult to know what others probably already know if you're autistic. So, I'm not saying that anyone here is autistic, but I tend to be tolerant of mistakes that look unintentional. Just sayin'.

Peace on earth and goodwill to all of you.

You are correct steph!

[steph535]

You are correct steph!

Thank you for your support, OM. I appreciate it! (And I do take into consideration others' views on this, as well.)

Merry, thanks for your input. I understand what you are saying about people with autism. Two of my children are high functioning, have Asperger's and my oldest grandson has autism. I don't happen to think that's the case here, but how would I know, it isn't my place to judge that, and I think it's great that you give people the benefit of the doubt.

I probably shouldn't have said anything. Thank you for understanding! I'm no expert even with autistic relatives. I think part of my personality is to protect the underdog, but in general I don't trust people. Weird, huh?

[cranberry]

nice!

[ornamentmaven]

My brother has Asperger's as well and life has not been easy for him!

No, I don't think it's weird at all. Believe it or not, most of the time, I am the same way. And there was nothing wrong with what you said.

You are a VERY kind person!

Aww, thank you, Merry!!

Wow! So many people are acquainted with this. I have a grandson who is autistic and he is the son of another daughter.
