Old Friends...


The best thing about getting all of our Christmas ornaments out is that I discover lots of old favourites, which adorn the tree each year.  The English telephone box adorned with Christmas Robin brings back memories of shopping in York at the National Trust shop.


There are three snowmen - Joy has been my word for 2017, so this one has pride of place on our tree.


The second Christmas Robin atop a pillar box also came from York.


The gingerbread cottage actually came from a Christmas cracker. 


The Love snowman is the second of the trio and (below) the third is Peace.


What more could we wish for this Christmas?  Joy, peace and love.

    1. Isn’t it lovely? I wish that I knew where such nice cracker prizes came from - most of them aren’t worth keeping. Thanks for your Christmas wishes. Marie x

  2. It's lovely how your Christmas collection tells the story of your life. I have a similar relationship with my parents' collection of Christmas tree ornaments. Each one has a story to tell from my childhood. B x

    1. It has taken a lot of years to accumulate this collection and, though they have no monetary value, they are all precious to me. Marie x
