Our Christmas Tree…
I’ve seen so many gorgeous trees on many of your blogs and at one point in the beginning of my marriage ~ we had three different Christmas trees throughout the house. Yet, we’ve come to realize it doesn’t feel as necessary to have more than one.
When thinning out our ornaments ~ we of course kept the special ones that we have accumulated over the years…
This is the Christopher Radko ornament that was released in 2001 remembering those that died on September 11th.
My grandmother gave me this ornament that she made along with a note asking me to hang it on my tree every year! She has since passed away, making it that more special to me.
This sweet shining star was brought to the family tree when I married my husband. This ornament is in remembrance of his brother who died 15 years ago. Every year the kids watch their daddy hang this ornament on the tree…every year it continues to be a truly touching moment for all of us.

An ornament from Christmas’s past. Every year my Aunt would have Santa come “ho ho ho’ing” into the room as we all sat listening to her read the night before Christmas…a tradition that was started when I was a little girl and has now been shared with my children – one of the holiday favorite traditions. This ornament is of one of my children during the festivities!
When visiting Disneyland we’ve had a few of these silhouettes ornaments made there to make the memory extra special ~ such a fun and sweet ornament for them to put on the tree.
This ice skate was given to me several years ago by a special person in my life. I dreamed of having a Victorian tree only decorated with Victorian themed ornaments for my tea room…She gave this ornament to me with a note inside saying “for your someday tree”…

Yes, I’ve added new ornaments, but want to share with you just some of the ones that are special and the memory that accompanies it. I look forward to seeing what treasures we will remember to hang on our tree in the future!
Happy Holiday Season to you all ~ To see what I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…xoxo, tracie
