Do you create a themed tree or are you more ecclectic with your ornaments?
I wanted white lights for a 'clean' look to our tree to showcase my wide variety of ornaments (mostly pooh related heh) but DH really wanted these funky colored lights so although he let me have the white, I felt bad and went back and bought him the colored lights and returned the white.
My family always had colored lights; no theme. Just whatever we'd collected over the years plus we always made a few. I think I'd like to try that with the DH: making one ornamnet apiece for our first tree.
I have mostly pooh ornaments (cause I love him); I buy two Hallmark ornaments every year; expensive yes, but its tradition and I also get them cheaper during the summer on EBay. I splurged a lil' this year and got a few because its our first xmas.
We also have some others and the classic balls (unbreakable due to kitties being destructive) and things.
These are my hallmark ones for this year; We love chinese food.
Mom gave us this one
I bought this one because reminded me of my grandma;not our 1st christmas without her but first as a married couple when she's not around; She wanted me to marry Pete but didnt get to see it. In person its a beautiful ornament; silver and heavy quality. It would make a beautiful gift.
This one I bougth as a gift for my mom; we're closer now that I am NOT living at home!
DH got me this one-we love to cook for one another.Sorta our thing.
This is my fave this year-called A world of hope-little glope spins. Sooo cute!

-grins- You'd LOSE it in our apartment..we're really ecclectic lol. Nothing matches but it all GOES in some shape or form.
not at all.... I never told you this, but I think you have a twin (of indian descent)..... I have a friend who is extremely similar to you.... in personality, the love of 'hot' colors, even in appearances... actually... in eclectic style too... Her style is different from mine, but all the items seemed to gel together quite well
too bad she is living in Bahrain right now.... you guys would probably get along really well.....
LOL really? People think I am Indian all the time. When my hair was blak and down to my hiney, I was always asked by INDIAN PEOPLE lol not even random people, where I was from.
Too bad. Tell her to move here. I could use a twin. Share clothes and all.
