Putting up Christmas decorations is always nostalgic--remembering when we got each ornament, each decoration. Many of my Christmas decorations are special because they remind me of loved ones.I love getting out Mom's Hummel creche.
Grandma's bell ornaments (they really ring!) hang on garlands in my dining room.
I love this candle globe that was a gift from my mother-in-law.
We also have some decorations from places we've visited:
London
Living History Farms
Frank Lloyd Wright museum. (yes, that's a bubble light next to it--like the ones on Grandma's tree)
Unfortunately, the star at the top of our tree broke last year in a tree-tipping incident. Eli told us he'd make a new topper for us. I think it'll become one of my future favorite decorations.
Can you tell he's reading Tolkein right now? We laughed and laughed at this--Christmas in Mordor!

So happy to see the creche! I don't seem to have any Grandma H ornaments in my collection, but sure do remember that German feather tree, in its plastic bag in the basement.
Best Christmas tree topper I've ever seen!!
