I always thought that was neat. I know when my mom passes away sis and I will probably divy up some of our favorite ornaments. She has some nice ones. The same ornamentsthat have always graced our Christmas tree..will be available. I have moved so often ti has been hard for me to keep track of ornaments I really liked, or that told a story. What about you? Do you have heirloom ornaments?

My parents still have the ornaments. They have given us some things from our youth but not them.

Oh yes. I know we have a few that belonged to my great grandmother. I have some that belonged to my mother. We have the ones with birth years and other achievements on them too.

There are a few that were made when we were kids. I have a couple in honor of my son too, vacations etc.

@snowy22315 They sure add up after awhile, don't they? I think I'd need two trees just to fit all the ornaments we have.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I don't even have them all here. There is a storage unit that has Christmas stuff.

I don't think I have any that belonged to my grandma. My guess is my uncle and aunt have those as they live in their former house.

@sallypup Is it Christasy? I don't have anything from my grandma on my mom's side although they left money, but I have a few things from my dads mom including her wedding ring, and cooksbooks with her writing in it.

@snowy22315 We had presents and a huge family gathering. I guess we were just too busy on the farm.

I think some of the ornaments my mother has may have belonged to her mother or grandmother, not sure.

Probably the Christmas Tree which had been around for more than ten years.

Except in the old days they made a lot of them out of a fragile glass.

Couldn't you get a small tree just for them?

@KristenH Maybe get one on sale after the season. They will be 50 to 75 percent off.

@snowy22315 I could. But my small tree broke two years ago when the stand broke. Maybe next year.

My son didn't make any in school really..The county was on a secular kick when he was in school. Lots of kids with different ethnicities and religious backgrounds.
