It was cute this year, as we were putting them up we were telling D the story behind each one. Then as she was putting the cheap (non meaningful) ornaments on the bottom, she was making up stories to go with them!

Eventually I hope to have enough to do a mini-tree with all of them.

I have a ton of ornaments from when I was little that are very special. And I have some from the 40's or 50's that were on my grandparents tree. I have to be extra-careful with those. :) Crystal on "Do your ornaments tell a story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-ornaments-tell-a-story#post-1260585 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:35:47 +0000 Crystal 1260585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We also started buying ornaments wherever we vacation, and we reminisce about our favorite memories when we hang them up. My ILs noticed, so now they buy us ornaments when they go on vacation... Not the same thing... mrs. 64 on "Do your ornaments tell a story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-ornaments-tell-a-story#post-1260551 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:18:33 +0000 mrs. 64 1260551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We are the same. We get an ornament on most trips we take and have some to represent milestone events. I'm worried that if we keep this up, we will have to get another tree at some point!

As a kid, I would get one every year. I have one from an internship I did in Washington, DC. It's one of my favorite ornaments. We also were gifted a wedding/couple ornament set that I absolutely adore. regberadaisy on "Do your ornaments tell a story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-ornaments-tell-a-story#post-1260429 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 21:23:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1260429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Jump Rope: yup!

One of my favorite ornaments is a cow . . . on one side of the ball, the cow is saying "Moo-y Christmas" and on the other side, the cow is saying "Happy Moo Year" . . . I laugh every single time I take that thing out of the box! :P Mrs. Jump Rope on "Do your ornaments tell a story?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-ornaments-tell-a-story#post-1260341 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 20:42:50 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1260341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We try to get an ornament every vacation so it's always fun to reminisce about our travels as we decorate. We also had a butt ugly mailbox when we bought our house. The previous owners painted the box with spots, Like a cow, and they glued a cow face to the front. Puke. Someone got us a cow ornament our first Xmas here in this house & it makes me laugh every year. I always forget how awful our mailbox was until Christmas!
