This year I put a little christmas tree on the kitchen table and put some of my mother's vintage decorations on it.
Such a wonderful reminder of my beautiful mother
Such a cute plastic angel - love her smile
Pearly/silver beads on this little bootand a glass garland
Glass/tinsel flower on top of angel
Poor Santa has lost his feet and his arms have turned orange
Blue flower
Pearl/silver beaded bell
Love this little gazebo with the deer
Here is my orange armed Santa again
Love the heart shaped mouth on this little elf
This little wooden man (the daddy) was bought by me for christmas 1976, 4 months before our first child was born. He is part of the set below
This little family group was representing the impending birth of our first baby born in April 1977.
This was the mummy (me) - lost her leg somewhere!!
There was our sweet little baby to be
This lovely flocked bell has such a cute Santa inside
Another little angel with gold glittered wings
This sweet angel on top was given to my mother by my cousinI always loved the soft hair on this angel

Lots of special memories on this tree - my beautiful mother who passed away nearly 17 years ago. Not a day goes by when I don't think about her.

Hi Allison, I too have my mothers wonderful ornaments and the memories. I have a sweet santa that is broken on the bottom but I still hang it every year. I will have it posted for mosaic monday. Drop over and see him. Happy holiday. Sharon
Hi Alison, I adore the gazebo and deer, how sweet.
They are adorable! Brings back so many memories of my Nan's tree - we spent every Christmas with her when we were little. I must ask if she still has some of them! Hope you have a lovely Christmas Alison!
Allison, each one is more precious than the one before. How wonderful that each one has a special memory attached. Merry Christmas !!! :)
Hi Alison
Some of the decorations bring back memories of Christmas whan I was little - how lovely you've kept them. Not sure where ours went
I was just thinking now there's such a huge choise of colours, decorations often seem to be bought for one year then thrown out, ready for the next new colour theme. Sad really isn't it

Hi Alison,
Those vintage ornaments are just gorgeous. The angel that you have reminds me of the one that went on the Christmas tree every year when I was a child.
I wish you & your family a wonderful Christmas.

It's hard to pick a favorite ornament. I love them all.
Of course, the sweet memories make it all the more special. Happy Holidays.

I cannot think of anything more perfect for a Christmas tree than decorations that mean something. My boys have really enjoyed decorating our tree this year, now they are old enough to do it, and boy were they exited about doing it!! I told them about the history of some of the older ones so I hope they have a feeling of family like these have for you. Wonderful!!
Have a fabulous Christmas and thankyou for all your lovely comments :)
