Read this book yesterday and it helped me realize I don't need "traditional" ornaments to decorate my tree so I found things on my bookshelves to add. This is a crocheted manatee finger puppet. I also used two keychains, a paper dinosaur as the topper and an airplant holder to hold a wood carving.
My oldest Christmas ornament. Yep I turn 40; will be turning that age in about 7 weeks. My mom collected Christmas ornaments for me and my sister from the time we were born to the present day. When my sister and I moved out, my discovered that she had to go and buy herself Christmas ornaments.

This little gem of a book is a fascinating Christmas read. Formatted so that each ornament has written commentary on the left page and on the adjoining right page is a photograph of the ornament.A few of these go back generations. The author‘s memories & the history that each ornament carries provided me with a much needed, heart warming read this week. Many thanks to Christine for this lovely”treasure” of a book.
