I'm intrigued by other people's Christmas trees. I love looking through open curtains to see a tree glinting away. If your tree has ancient heirloom ornaments, I am very jealous. Particularly if it has those half cut out retro baubles (you know the ones). Our own tree went up at the weekend. Sadly there are no heirloom ornaments. I quite often decide on a new colour theme and buy accordingly. Last year I added red baubles to the gold. I have a second tree, a white one with either silver and blue, or neon bright, baubles, but this year it's staying in its box owing to the fact that my colour choices for the dining room will be red and gold, so it wouldn't match. (It's all very complicated.)
What's your Christmas tree like and what's your favourite ornament?

Not sure about vintage ornaments but I have a couple of those little birdies that you have in lighter colours. The must be 40 yrs old.
I also love looking through people's windows at night! (So do burglars!) Best to draw the curtains.

We usually travel to visit family at this time of year, so I've been without a tree for years. Finally, this year, I went for a fake, plastic, table top tree from Target. (Sorry, purists). But it makes me and the spouse very happy. It's cheery, it has lights, and it's manageable for us. As for beloved ornaments, your little bird reminds me of a favorite that my parents had on their tree.
We don't have a tree yet this year... we are still waiting for our belongings to arrive from Russia. but my favorite ornaments are the ones that we have found as we have traveled throughout the years.

Hi, I'm a new follower from Follow Friday. My few treasured ornaments are the ones my children made, or are from when they were young. Who knew that a Dora ornament could mean so much??
