...and the story behind it. 🎄😊
 
Here's mine:
 
My mommy made this one when she was younger (her 20s, I think). She made quite a few like this with her mom and grandmother, and this one was passed down to me.

My favorite Christmas ornament is at my mom's house so I don't have a picture of it, but it was an ornament made by my sister when she was in mother's-day-out a good 35 years ago. It's a walnut shell and glued inside is tiny acorn with a smiley face drawn on it and a very tiny piece of fabric made to look like a blanket, and a string glued to each side of the walnut shell so it can be hung on the tree. It's suppose to represent baby Jesus in the manger, but we renamed it Baby Acorn Head. Even though my mom has gotten away from putting out the homemade ornaments and turned to a more color coordinated tree she still remembers to stick Baby Acorn Head on there somewhere for us to see. 4951

My best friend who passed away 4 years ago made it with her kids. I was at her house for a cookie exchange and expressed how cute it was. This was before she was diagnosed with cancer. She gave it to me a few days later. It will forever be on the tree right on front.

Trying to pick just one to share, collecting them made that a bit tricky. Have one from my mom, it isn't pretty any more, as it colors are disappearing, but it was old when my mom got it from her mom. They have both passed away now, so it is a treasure even with out its colors. 4951

The star in the middle, a nativity scene I needlepointed back in the late 80's on the left and a cover I crocheted for a ornament this year
