Donna: Thanks. I found myself standing and staring and remembering. It seemed worth writing about…

Erica: We, also, lack a few ornaments due to a couple of falling, fully decorated trees a few years back. The second time, I needed the support of a friend on the phone as I cleaned up the mess and cataloged the damage!

JollyJo: The older it is, the more “dear” the ornament (but with valued added to any and all kid creations!). To me, the ornaments are almost a “library” of our life events. It’s wonderful to dust them off and display them each year!

Rainfield61: Thank you! ~And blessings to you!

Jean-Luc: Thank you. I hope you enjoyed your holiday time (Boxer’s Day, right?). I returned from Mexico late on the 23rd. The last couple of days have been a splendid joyful rush of activity!

Suzanne: It is a fairly saturated tree! In my twenties, I aimed for “decor”, and it made for a lovely tree. ~But I like our memory-draped version so much more!

Intrepid: This had to be one of our best Christmases. Crazy-busy ~but in all the right ways. And my Mexico trip forced me to “organize” as never before… I impressed my own self!

With all your travels, I bet you have a captivating tree! I’d love to pick out an ornament “Down Under”! Someday… (my oldest boy promised, as a ten-year old, to travel there with me ~and I’m holding him to it!)

By the way, I love this post. I agree. It’s such a great way to chronicle your life. You get to relive the memories annually when you decorate your tree. I try to buy or acquire at least one new ornament a year. Each one is special in its’ own way.

Thanks for the journey through your tree. I can imagine the whole looks glorious with these special memories dotted all over it.

Love this post Heather and with the economy the way it is, it’s a great reminder for many of us who frown on recycling.

These ornaments are very pretty. We would still have ornaments from my childhood if I wouldn’t have broken them all. The ornaments 30 and 35 years ago were so fragile.
