I hope you can make out the Christmas tree in this home made decoration. It was a gift to me more than thirty five years ago. A little girl whom I taught in Wednesday night church made it from a tuna can, with the help of her mother, I am sure. I have it on a bed of pine cones this year.
There is a tiny tree, and some cotton for snow, and two plastic fawns. It is fit inside the tuna can, with red and white ribbon around it and a piece of red yarn to hang it.
The young lady who made it is now a teacher. She is the same age as my son.
Do you have any old ornaments.

I have some old ornaments from my Mom which have special meaning to me. I also have a collection of ornaments from places I've visited or stores I go to during Christmas season. I try to buy one each year. Some go back quite some time now...

I do not know even where all my ornaments are. My old house was much bigger and we had big trees and displays. Somewhere I have a collection of stars, based on a Finlander custom of having "stars in the heavens". Hubby is of Finlander descent.

@dgobucks226 They are in a box somewhere. I also had large heavy glass balls that I had hanging out year round. I just located another box recently, and they could be there.

No, this would not be worth much if sold, but the memories are worth everything.

How nice for you. This one is only worth sentiment and nothing more.

I know, it is not a great shot and the fawns are less than an inch tall.

That's really cute! Our oldest ornaments are two that our son got from a relative when he was a baby.

I still have tons of stuff boxed away. Maybe next year I can do it up big. Precious gifts from elderly acquaintances sound like real keepsakes.
