Christmas Ornaments

As I begin to think about the holidays I want to share with you a tradition that my Grandmother began with me and I share with family and friends. It is the tradition of giving Christmas Tree Ornaments. These are simple gifts that can be used for many years to come.

For my first Christmas my Grandmother, "Mom", gave me a Christmas tree ornament personalized with my name on it. I fondly remember it; a brass sleigh shape ornament with Santa in it. It was special to me because it had my name, Marilynn, and most of all it was from my "Mom". Each year until her passing "Mom" always had an ornament for me. She selected something that representing either a current interest (ballet, dogs, art etc) or current celebration (ex. 1976 Celebration, OK I am dating myself). These ornaments served each year as a connection not only to the celebration of this joyous season but my Grandmother and a celebration of my life's interest and milestones.

Maree and I are very pleased that our site offers a nice selection of ornaments. We actually offer over 1690 different ornament options when you consider the different pet breeds, ballerina images, lighthouses and monogramming options we offer.
Many of our ornaments can be personalized with a name.

We hope you visit our site and select an ornament as a gift even if it is a gift for yourself.

Sincerely,
Marilynn
