Well, as far as I can see from the photo of your tree, you do not need any other ornaments!!

Nuh uh! I still have a whole 'nother tree to put up! That one is going to hold the family keepsake ornaments.

Any Christmas suggestions, Steph?

well, sure. But I know that my taste in Christmas music is not like most people's. Most people like classic stuff and I do like a few of those, but not enough to buy. For instance, I like to hear some of the old standbys, like Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas', Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song', etc.. on the radio, because it means that it is the Christmas season and they are happy songs, etc... But, I did not grow up with this type of Christmas music in my home, so even though I like a few of them, I can tire of the classic music pretty quickly. So, if you want my advice as to what I would recommend, it may be different than what you are used to; I don't really know. As far as Christmas music, there are lots of albums I would like you to hear, such as::

1.The Robert Shaw Chorale (any of their albums)
2. Rita Ford's ' A Music Box Christmas'
3. The Deller Consort, 'The Holly and the Ivy', and 'Hark Ye Shepherds'
4. Chanticleer, (I have 'Sing We Christmas')
5. Canadian Brass (I have 'Christmas with the Canadian Brass')
6. Handel's ' Messiah'
7. The Roger Wagner Chorale, "Joy to the World"
8. Kim Robertson, "Celtic Christmas"
9. Children's Chorus of Radio Prague, "Czech & Polish Songs of Christmas"
10. The Choir of Trinity Church, "Candlelight Carols"
11. King's Singers, (I have 'A Little Christmas Music')
12. "Christmas with the Vienna Choir Boys and Hermann Prey"

I know I am forgetting some of them and some of these are quite old. You can listen to 30 second samples of a lot of these on amazon. Olga, I hope you, and others, are able to hear some of the samples and that you enjoy what you hear. This is music that really makes me feel that Christmas spirit.

Well, I know what you mean!! In my family we have that tradition, too.
We have family wooden ornaments and we put them on the tree on 6th December..

I am buying a new tree for this year's Christmas. hehe

Wow !!! Thank you very much, youve helped a lot.. Ill listen to samples on Amazon.
Thanks again.

you are quite welcome! Let me know what you think. One of my favorite songs on my Hermann Prey and Vienna Choir Boys album is also on youtube. Just look up the song, "Tochter Zion Hermann Prey." He sings it exactly the way he does on the record, although on youtube, it is not with the Vienna Choir Boys. Also, you can find a lot of music by the Roger Wagner Chorale on youtube, Christmas and otherwise. You can probably find most of the other ones I mentioned there, too.
