But I keep worrying about how heavy, fragile, and space-hogging they can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965868 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:57:29 +0000 MediaNaranja 1965868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We usually clear a shelf or two on the bookshelf in the living room :) I don't display all of them every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965802 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:31:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: that set is really lovely. How do you display them every year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965762 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:18:16 +0000 Mae 1965762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy christmas ornaments on every trip and also we buy a new one each year. That's really our only collection </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965755 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:15:42 +0000 BananaPancakes 1965755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yeah, I'm dumb. Just saw it. I guess I had to sign in to see it since it's gold. Ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965750 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:14:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: yep you have a wall post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965741 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 13:12:03 +0000 BananaPancakes 1965741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My phone died, so not sure if you walled me and then took it down because it was an address or email. You can try again now. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965632 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:33:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: really?! I'll wall you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965625 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:33:09 +0000 MaryM 1965625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents used to give me one piece of a waterford nativity set each year starting when I was a teen. It was discontinued before I got the whole thing, but I have the most important players (the holy family, wise men, a shepherd and a donkey) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965619 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:30:10 +0000 BananaPancakes 1965619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really really want to start collecting Simon Pearce evergreens, but they're so expensive and I can't justify spending the money on something I'll only pull out once a year. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: If you decide you're going to start collecting nutcrackers, I have an AA one I'll send you. My MIL collected them to decorate my husbands room when he was little. I think they're creepy. I haven't pulled our Christmas stuff this year, but I'm almost certain the AA one is in perfect shape and traditional. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965600 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:23:11 +0000 MediaNaranja 1965600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my travels over the years I have collected small nativity sets. My favorite is from Bolivia--llamas instead of donkeys, like the photo below. </p> [attach=2770/14/nfwyyn.600x317.photo.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965583 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 12:18:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: nutcracker are popular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965297 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 10:33:07 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1965297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a collection of cone-shaped trees and antique (or replica) glass tree toppers. I would love to start a collection of nutcrackers too, but the nice ones that last can be pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965232 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:56:09 +0000 blackbird 1965232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nothing....i can't really find anything i like enough to want a lot of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965221 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:52:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: oh yes, those suckers are expensive, but really adorable too!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: agree, owls arent super festive. Reindeer are my back up collection idea, but it's a bit strange to collect those since we won't have Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965171 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:28:04 +0000 looch 1965171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have attempted to start holiday collections, but I never manage. I have a set of sterling sleigh bell ornaments, that's about it.</p> <p>I tried to start collecting nutcrackers, but the ones i like are expensive (stienboch). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965169 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1965169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I don't know! Chloe picked out an owl ornament for her, so maybe we will do owls. They haven't grown on me the way nutcrackers have, though, and they don't scream Christmas to me, either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965162 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:25:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: awe! That's awesome. What will you do for Charlotte?</p> <p> My mom bought Lladros for me- one for every year until I was maybe 22 or 23. She always said they would be mine when I had a home of my own. Now, she says when she dies I get them. I can't blame her though, if she gave them to me now she would have to figure out what to fill in her curio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965156 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:21:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1965156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started a nutcracker collection for Chloe when I was pregnant with her. She has a ton of ornaments &amp; figurines. I set them up at Xmas time but they're hers, and they'll go to her home when she moves out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-collections#post-1965106 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:52:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1965106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's your holiday collection? Where are some of the places you buy from to add to your collection?</p> <p>I helped my mom amass a small army of black Angels &amp; Santas. The last Angel came from Cracker Barrel's gift shop a few years ago. Most of the Santa figurines came from Macy's. </p> <p>I would like to start a Nutcracker collection, but am having a hard time finding ethnic ones in traditional attire. Train sets and Nativity scenes are also beautiful, but I have no patience for the set up. </p>
