They are especially prominent this year as I've banned the hanging of anything breakable due to the presence of Luna, my daughter's 1-year-old cat, who breaks things just by walking into a room. At some point this season she WILL try to climb the tree. I just know it. So...my hand-blown glass ornaments from Germany? Still in the box. The construction-paper-and-glitter-glue ornaments my daughter made in kindergarten? Front and center, baby. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-806513716395173202011-12-12T10:14:52.287-06:002011-12-12T10:14:52.287-06:00I still have an ornament that a co-worker made me ...I still have an ornament that a co-worker made me at my first job. And all the one's my children made - one is made of cloves. I'm surprised it's not moldy.

That same year I prayed Santa would not get a DUI. :)<br /><a href="http://fragilemouse.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow</a>Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136045025997662057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-72346654199422815142011-12-11T21:38:37.783-06:002011-12-11T21:38:37.783-06:00We have a wooden bear ornament covered with bite m...We have a wooden bear ornament covered with bite marks. It matches the hole perfectly centered in the belly of poor baby Jesus as he lays in his manger...all compliments of my first Schnauzer, Schatzi. She was a terror, and the maimed victims are always a topic of conversation amongst the family at Christmas!<br /><br />Pat<br />Critter AlleyPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-75069666701189774842011-12-11T16:53:29.964-06:002011-12-11T16:53:29.964-06:00Oh yeah, a tuna fish can with a picture of one of ...Oh yeah, a tuna fish can with a picture of one of the now grown kids.

I frankly don't know what ornaments he put up this year because I haven't looked. I have hundreds in boxes in the attic, but Rod believes less is more.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-48368914323385919252011-12-11T14:41:08.650-06:002011-12-11T14:41:08.650-06:00We have Styrofoam balls entwined in pipe-cleaners,...We have Styrofoam balls entwined in pipe-cleaners, encrusted with glitter, from the year our grandma let us grandkids make our own ornaments at her dining room table. She even cleared off the million-piece jigsaw puzzle of sea and sky that she brought home from her job at the state mental hospital. Those ornaments are kind of de-crusted with glitter now, but they always bring back the memory of making them.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-55963988754289331772011-12-11T13:29:24.739-06:002011-12-11T13:29:24.739-06:00We have one that's made from a popsicle stick,...We have one that's made from a popsicle stick, and Santa's beard gets thinner and thinner each year.
