Whenever my husband and I take a trip we get a "local" ornament (I really started doing this before him but....)
So when we put up the tree each year..."oh look! Here's the one from Door County, here's the one form Key West, etc!"

Most of the ornaments on the tree (other than the balls) are lil things me and my brother have made over the years. So we basicly have our childhood on the tree. :D Mom still has these lil popcicle sticks and constructon paper sleds that say MoM and DaD that I made in art class when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. There is one ornament that we have had for as long as I can remember: It's a blue cat holding a pink lil heart, we always say that's Fluffy's ornament. Now we need to get the dogs one. LOL It's hard to find Lab and Pit bull ornaments tho.
Everyone is probably to young to remember the 'Josef Original' figurines, but when our children were young, like about 40 years ago I bought a set of Manger Josef figurines, so very nice and beautifully painted. It has the three kings, Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and two lambs. I treasure that set and it is just like new and we put it out every year.
