Last year after Christmas I cleared out most of my 'meaningless' ornaments and carefully wrapped the rest for 11 months of storage. What an amazing gift this year to adorn my tree! Each ornament is truly special in some way. Our tree is quite eclectic with absolutely no rhyme or reason, other than a collage of beautiful memories. It makes me smile.
I am so thankful for the changes in my life over the past 7 years...from meaningless to a true purpose, discovery and refinement, blessings disguised as challenges, and times of stretching and rest. It is good to reflect, and what a strange messenger-our beautiful Christmas tree...
Please post a comment and tell me about your favorite ornament(s)...I'll post mine, too!

To choose a favorite ornament is difficult - there are many! But if I had to pick just ONE (or two or three) I would choose: (1) My angel tree topper from my Mom (2) Jarrett's clay hand print from his 1st Christmas (3) an ornament David and I purchased together at Montauk Point in New York.
Your tree is lovely!
For my tree, my favorites are 1) my old (can't say antique, too well-worn for that word!) balls from my childhood, 2) anything my children have made, and 3) the lights that unite everything.
I would say my oraments from they year both my kids were born. Plus a few from my childhood.
