Waiting for Christmas!

No time to write so pictures of a few of my tree ornaments, some you might recognise, as I have shared them before.

Fun Monday # 45

Kaytabug is helping us get into the festive spirit as she says.....

In the spirit of the season I would like to see your favorite Christmas tree ornament. Not to be confused with the WHOLE tree. I want you to zoom in and show me one or a few (you know I can't choose just one!) of your favorite ornaments. If you don't decorate a tree, show me your menorah or dreidel, Kinara, or Yule Log. I want to see your favorite decoration for this holiday season.

This actually prompted me to unpack my decorations but I couldn't decide which are my favourites. So you've got a small selection. In case you are wondering Embee got the tree down from the loft but it won't be put up for another week or so. You will be able to work out which photos I took last year!
The angel (bottom left) goes on top of the tree. The two little yellow plastic ornaments are from my childhood. The little bear complete with tennis raquet and the tennis ball in the second set of photos are tree ornaments I bought for Embee when I was in San Francisco in 2002. The other angel was a free gift and I have to say it would not be my choice, so not quite sure why I decided to show it!
The ornaments in the top right picture have all been made by my grandchildren and so those are greatly treasured. The lanterns are very old and were given to me by an elderly housekeeper where I worked back in the 70's. The paper is beginning to wear but they look very pretty provided you make sure a light shines in each one. These are only a few of my ornaments and you might have guessed I use a red and gold theme each year.
I will be posting a picture of my tree closer to Christmas.

Now I'm off to admire everyone else's ornaments see you soon.
P.S
Just to show that I don't think more of my grandchildren than I do of my children I thought I would add these decorations made by Sam and
Beccy back in the 70's
