Advent Calendar is a daily blogging prompt through December from http://www.geneabloggers.com/ used by many genealogy bloggers to help them tell stories of their family and their ancestors. Reading some of the house-style magazines, some people focus on colour themes such as silver & blue, or red & gold etc. for their Christmas Trees, but for our family the Christmas Tree is one of happy memories.
In the past it featured my young daughter's home-made decorations - who can forget the bells made from egg cartons covered in baking foil?
Oooh, I love your ornaments. I also have a couple of onion-dome ornaments (to appear later) and I believe that same scroll of music. Merry-go-rounds are also a particular favorite. Would love to see your tree with all of the ornaments on it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos! They are delightful. Our tree also had many home made ornaments, made of felt, foil or cardboard. Now I use many small picture frames with family members, past and present, to make it a family tree.
