Quirky Christmas Tree Ornament Edition
Our tree is filled with a mishmash of unrelated ornaments from different families, different eras, and different interests. Somehow they’ve all found a home with us.
Chili Pepper Santa Claus
A memento from a trip my husband and I took to San Antonio, Texas in 2001.
Santa Squatch
A gift to my husband, interested in all things Bigfoot.

The Death Star
It’s shaped like a ball, so it must be an ornament, right? Sounds and lights and all things Dark Side for the Season of Light.

Whenever I go to people’s houses during Christmastime, I love looking at their trees and what’s on them. Most of us have collected ornaments from all sorts of places and I like to ask about the stories behind them. Your tree definitely has character!
The stories to go along with the handmade ornaments are the best!
