my favorite ornament is a crystal Hummingbird for my dad. It's become a symbol for him within my family since we lost him to cancer 3 years ago. Christmas is hard without the loved one's you've lost but its important to honor and remember them and my favorite way to do that is with an heirloom ornament

We have a family tradition that each kid picks out a new ornament, and we get a family ornament each year. I keep each kid’s ornament’s packed in their own box when we put everything away, and when they move out, we’ll give them their own box for their Christmas tree. My parents did this for my siblings and I, and it’s always so special to see all of the old ornaments from my childhood with my kids picks.

This was something my parents did for us too. Not only was it sentimental, but it was also practical because as a college student I didn't have money to be buying decorations so I already had some!

We didn’t put our tree up until Xmas Eve and would sit and have a drink as the children decorated. The pictures we have of that few hours showing the tree decorated a third of the way up, then half, then entirely are my favorite ornaments. The activity completely exhausted our children and they not only went happily to bed, and always slept until 8 or 8:30 when their grandparents would wake them up because They couldn’t stand waiting. I miss miss doing that!

My parents have a musical nativity scene that recites the Christmas story from when Angel of the North appears to the shepherds. They bought it for their first Christmas as a married couple in 1987 and it’s been out every year since. It’s always been put at a level that we could play with it and play out the story ourselves with the figures. I absolutely adore it

I’ve bought one decoration or set every year and added to my collection. After 40 years you can imagine that I don’t necessarily use them all each year now. For me our tree is about honoring the time and progress and increase of joy. I change it up with different ribbons or beads but the memories in each decoration are precious. Now my grandkids get to enjoy the planning, stories and place items thoughtfully on our tree. It’s delightful 🎄

I love watching you and your family. I love Christmas so much. A few years ago, I stripped my tree of the red ribbon and balls and large snowflakes. I decided to do a Glory tree. (I am a Jesus Fanatic!) I did all the tree in gold and I have never taken it down. It has birds, crosses, all kinds of gold balls and ornaments, trumpets, musical instruments, etc. The tree has solid lights and twinkling lights as well. It is my night light in the living room. I am known for my decorating so I think you would love it as well.

My Father loved everything about Christmas, so each year we would go to the city to pick out a new set of german handmade glass ornaments for the tree. I have one or two of those ornaments in my collection now, and they are as precious to me now, as they were then. Every year I change my theme, and I am not past putting food ornaments in my tree, I feel doing something that is fun for the kids (or big kids) creates the best memory. This year, my husband has won me over, after decades of hiding ornaments in the back of the tree, we are doing a Star Wars theme... May the force be with me! 😏🙄

Your tree is so calming to me . Even though my life has changed dramatically and I miss parts of my old life with my ex husband,I know once I get my own place, I am going to do this style off tree . I love how it isn’t over loaded . It’s right up my alley. . My fave ornaments were shiny brite vintage ornaments . .we had a completely vintage tree. . The garland , tree topper , ornaments are all vintage. The only new things were the Christmas lights. And the pinecone ornaments that I painted the tips on were new . The hardest thing for my ex to pick out was the tree because he always picked out a tree that was too big .

I am Danish and to me it is all about memory's. My ornaments are basically the same every year. From my childhood and up to now 50 years later. It tells my family's story. We all have ornaments that represents us. Our hobbies or personality. Ornaments that are old, a couple of new ones, homemade and we have a little picture of the family members who have died. That way they are still with us. And it is a real tree. Always! Merry christmas.

Did the same star last year from Hobby Lobby! It's a wall hanging, but with a square dowel that fits right into the tail of the star and some zip ties, you can create a great tree topper. I painted the dowel green and zip tied it to the trunk. Didn't move all season and if you do it, put it on before anything else. Super easy!

Love your home and tree. I recommend getting a real tree at least once. We had a family tradition of going to the same tree farm each year with our 4 kids. It was so much fun walking around looking for the perfect tree. We had hot chocolate while we waited for our tree to be cut and bagged and viewed the farm's Christmas village with trains and lights. My kids are grown now and they still say that is one of their favorite childhood memories.

My favorite ornament is floppy disk with little mice hanging on it. It has “Santa’s Secret Files - 1998” written on it with “The Nice List”, “The Naughty List” and “Mrs. Claus’ hot cocoa recipe”. My dad and I love tech so the floppy disk reminds me of him. Our tree used to be decorated really tacky and when I got into high school my mom started decorating our tree with more of a color scheme and sophistication. My sister and I loved it but still wanted to display some of our tackier ornaments from our childhood like the one I mentioned above. Now we have large garlands in our entryway and hallway leading to our bedrooms. We decorate them with our childhood ornaments framing the walk in view of our sophisticatedly decorated tree. We love it. A perfect blend of memories and design. Old and new.

It's an eclectic mix, but they are all my favorite because they represent so many sweet memories with my kids. ❤🎄

I love the felt ornaments on your tree. My theme for my tree is nostalgia. I had it last year but I bought another set of old-style glass ornaments. My parents were given a couple of this style when they got married. I remember them as a child and of course I liked to stick my finger in the middle of them and I broke a couple. But I still love them and my parents even bought me some hand-blown glass ornaments for my tree.

SO beautiful Sharrah! I agree about the fairy lights. Used those last year. I have a very unusual tree, a very sparse -very few pine needles on branches. LOTS of room to show off ornaments. Many are vintage, and the theme is birds, bird nests, pinecones, berries. (no children so many of the ornaments are glass and even from the 1920's and 30's). Can't wait to get it out this year. When putting it away the branches just fold up and I slide it into a closet. Easy to get it out and put the ornaments on. No assembly.

Every year our kids picked out an ornament that they liked…so my tree is full of barbies, Arthur, Barney, Harry Potter, Batman…cartoons etc. I love it. But the best thing we do every year is the Christmas pickle. Santa hides the glass pickle on the tree…then Christmas morning…the kids have to find the pickle. In the beginning, whoever won got a sharing gift…the pickle gift used to be a family movie and treats etc. Now my kids are 27 and 28…since they’ve been teens…the pickle is a hilarious competition…and the pickle gift is usually cash. It’s the funniest thing…and the best part of Christmas morning. (When the kids were small, the pickle was placed in the easiest spot…it’s green obviously…so it blends in like Where’s Waldo. Once they hit their teens…that pickle is hidden in the hardest spots of the tree.)

Sharrah, I think your decision to go more natural is lovely! When my children were toddlers and we had little to spend, I sewed calico fabric ornaments to decorate our small green artificial second hand tree. For garland I popped popcorn and strung it on red threads with button ends. I made a star out of card board and tin foil shiny side up. The ornaments were washable and tiny hands were always exploring for them. It was a safe child tree and my mother in law loved it. Now my kids are grown, the grandkids are grown up middle school through college. I have a few of their old ornaments and they make it on the trees once and a while. But my favorite Christmas decorations stay out all year, they are the kindergarten handprints on burlap in red and green framed in Black frames. One for each child, three all together. Time flies. And these are the best of times for me, raising my children and my favorite time of the year is Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Your tree looks beautiful. I have ornaments I've collected through the years from places I traveled and got as gifts and just ones that I liked, such as lenox. I love traditional colors. Red, silver and I tuck in creams and gold. It looks beautiful. The ornaments have sentimental meaning for me.

The allergies are killer with real trees, constantly watering and not to mention 😳MOLD honey you are not missing out. Go find a live tree outdoors and decorate 🤗💕☺️

Seven years in a row we went and cut down a tree and the kids got sick. Finally pediatrician said he thought it as the mold from the tree. Had it down and out the door in 30 minutes. No more sickness since we got the artificial tree.💁🏻‍♀️

How does a tree mold 😫🤢😂 lol I have never heard of that!! We get. a real tree every year that we keep up for around 3-4 weeks and by the end the only thing is that there are needles on the floor beneath. But mind you, I live in Ireland so there is no hot or dry weather that shortens the trees life

I admittedly love real trees but since we live in Canada when we bring in our tree it’s often covered in snow and ice and it has to melt all over the floor which is annoying. One year I was shaking some of the water out and a defrosting dead mouse fell out, I was SHOOK

You’ve inspired me to investigate buying twinkle lights! I’ve never seen them in stores where I live so I’ll have to try online options. My favourite ornaments are blown glass balls that belonged to my grandmother (they’re probably 80+ years old) and the clear glass angels I gave my mother one year, purchased with babysitting money.

I put up 2 trees (both unlit, which I like better than the pre-lit). The green tree is Radkos and other ones collected over the years and LOTS OF TINSEL! I love the colored lights reflecting off tinsel - it is a colorful waterfall look. The Big White Shimmer tree is 1950s and older ornaments.
