Hand crocheted snowflake ornaments and hand-made Christmas angels made from acorns. I love the simple, but classic!

Sarah said...

I think my favorite is the lights. I enjoy putting them up (though not the taking down part!) and riding around to look at the lights after getting ice cream or a treat at a drive thru has become a family tradition.

Heidi S. said...

My favorite Christmas decoration is an antique pair of skis and an old sled that I decorate with holly and evergreen boughs and white lights. So pretty!

Sarah said...

Oops, and I forgot to mention I've done all of the above, just because this contest looks so great!

My favorite Christmas decoration is anything 12 days of Christmas. This is the theme I have been decorating in for over 10 years now so I love to add one new thing each year whether it is a set of ornaments, plates, napkins or glasses.

Hi Michael! This is super easy, I have one of the original "elf on shelf" that's from the 60's. When I rolled around in the mid 70's I would love when he came out at Christmas! (I mean serious obsession) . Upon moving out, my mama gifted him to me and I keep that little elf out ALL year. I move him around, in the kitchen cupboard, the medicine cabinet and he always cracks me up!

Beverly Mullins said...

I have two favorite decorations for Christmas: 1) the first is the snow covered trees here in the mountains of eastern Kentucky on Christmas morning and 2) the second is the glowing smile of a child as he or she opens a present from a family member on Christmas eve. Snow covered trees and children are what makes Christmas seem so special to me.

Monica said...

my favorite christmas decoration is.....the tree. Not so much the tree, but the decorations on it. All things we've collected over the years or that the kids have made.

is a christmas decoration i've had since i was a child of these 2 dancing mice ontop of a small record player. I don't know what it is but always reminds me of happiness and the joy and fun we all have at christmas =)

Inspired Life said...

I can't say that I have one extra special decoration, but I do enjoy and decorate most with snowmen...not just any, though. I am not a "collector" of sorts, so I don't want them as gifts. The ones I pick and have gathered over the years have to "speak" to me. The unique and special ones.

Thank you, Michael....One of my favorite Christmas decorations is a beautiful nativity set that once belonged to my husband's grandparents and passed down to us by his Godmother when she passed away. I'm sure it has held many memories over the years. Also, I enjoyed reading the Sept/Oct issue of Folk and cannot wait for the next issue. So happy for you!

There are so many things I love about Christmas and decorating! My favorite would be the garland I made out of old potato sacks and vintage Christmas fabric, hard to describe but I love the look of it over my fireplace wrapped in white lights :) fun! I must say a close second is the Christmas candle lights in my windows at night. Its fun reading everyones favorites, almost makes me want to break out the Christmas music ....almost :)
