My favorite ornaments are my mother's crystal ones. They reflect the tree lights so well.
it's hard to pick a favorite, as they are all good memories. right now, i'd say my fav. is an Anne doll from my trip to PEI & everything Anne of Green Gables.
I love your pull string santa! I have a few favorite ornaments-- one is an old wax ornament, gilded in gold with velvet cording. Another is a painted ca face my grandmother made for me when I was small. And then are the ones my kids make :D

mine would be our first christmas one that we bought after we got married
Our family has some vintage Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ornaments. They're kind of gaudy and worn now, but whenever I see them they remind me of the Christmas excitement of being a kid.

I love the first ornament we bought as a family. It has three little penguins in a boat and reminds me of how thrilled I was when my first baby was born.
Christmas uterus!!! :D

My favorite ornament is one my mother puts on her tree (I don't put up a tree). It used to be a little plastic beaded cat (those things children make) but over the years it has lost one eye and both legs. We laugh about it and call it Cyclops Worm (it was Cyclops cat until it lost the last set of legs). (she'll never toss it out since I made it as a child)
She also has a very old blown glass elf head ornament which is so hideous and scary. We crack up over that one too.
My favorite is a reindeer.
Oh thanks for the chance - my favorite ornament is a little pillow that my sister made out of a joke-shirt she got one year!
And I'm a new follower - I also love to read so I'm excited to peruse your list! Have you read "The Book Thief"? That would be a good book-club book!

I used to collect Santa ornaments. I have ones made from light bulbs, gourds, brushes, corn cobs, shells, etc but my absolute favorite one is made from an okra! Yep, an okra painted with a Santa face. I have had that for a really long time and still love it just as much as the first time I saw it!

I have a wooden bear ornament that my grandfather let me hang on the tree every year. It is not Christmas without seeing that little guy hanging low enough for my grandchildren to see it.
I LOVE your pull Santa!
My favourite ornament is one my daughter made for me 10 years ago.
It is a glass ball that she poured red and green paint and glitter in. She was five, but it looked pretty darn good lol.

My favorite Christmas ornament are the ones that my daughter has made over the years. I always put them on the front of the tree where I can enjoy them. Thanks for the chance to win the lovely fabric.
Our favorite ornament is actually relatively new. It is a pewter ornament in the shape of a window with two cats looking out. I gave them out one year to family as a gift to represent our two cats. However, I didn't get us one. That same year, we had to put our oldest cat to sleep. For years after I looked for that ornament but couldn't find it. Then, three years ago, my parents came to our house for Christmas. They just had to have me open it on Christmas Eve--it was THAT ornament! My dad had called and looked everywhere and finally found one in Canada. So now I have the ornament to remember our kitties. (Sorry for the LOOOONG story!LOL)
I have a "vintage" Elf that my parents got when I was wee. He looks pretty much like the Elf on a Shelf version that is so popular now. Our Elf was quite laid back compared to the shenanigans of today's Elves; we just hid ours up in the tree where he could watch us. So that's what I still do!!
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!!

My favorite ornament is a little wooden dalmatian to remind me of our wonderful dalmatian named Dixie who passed away a few years ago.
A lovely prize! Thanks for the chance. I haven't gotten our Christmas stuff out yet this year so my memory of our ornaments is a little fuzzy at the moment! I have so many that I was given by my parents, one each year as I grew up, and now I have them all. There are many of those that are pretty special! I have one really nice crystal snowflake that I particularly like.
My favorite ornament is a paper angel i made as a kid : )

One of my favorite ornaments is a handmade Santa that just happens to bear a striking resemblance to its maker!
I think my stocking that was made for me as a child is my favorite. It is not so lovely as it used to be, as glued on glitter was its embellishment, but e sentimental aspect is the strongest! I am in the Kansas City MQG so I very much enjoyed looking around here, today!
I have subscribed through Reader!
I like crystal or metal angels. My grandmother gave me some as a kid and every time I see one that looks similar I buy them.
I am a new follower. You have some cute quilts.
Hi Petra!!! Sweet giveaway friend, thanks for sharing. I haven't unpacked my ornaments yet, but one of my favs is a cute little wooden star frame with my son's photo in the middle from his first Christmas. He was so little :) I have no idea why I'm not following you - fixing that NOW!

My favorite is a simple ball one - silver, with a kind of swirly/snow looking pattern on it. Strung with a navy ribbon, we put a "Thanks for joining us on our day" tag on and used them for centerpieces and favors at our wedding (married less than two weeks before Christmas). :)
I had a elf w/one ear I loved for a long time. He got lost in moving though =(
My favorite ornament is a red pig from Sweden.
A favorite ornament is a stuffed red horse my great-aunt made for me when I was a tot. A few years ago our elderly cat chewed its ear off. Funnily enough, this made me love it more.

I like to buy an ornament when I travel so many of mine are special to me and for different reasons. The most sentimental one I have is our tree topper. It is an angel made by my mother and given to my daughter. It is a cone covered with burlap, trimmed with gold rickrack, with a old doll face and yarn hair. When my daughter married and moved away she finally bequeathed it to me. Thank heavens! I've never found anything I liked as much.
A clear, glass bell that reminds me of childhood christmases.
Mine is very ugly, but it is the lid to a can with glitter and stuff stuck to it and a picture of me when I was really little, I made it in preschool and still have it.
We have about 6 small paper mache turtles that are old. They are always hung at the top of the tree first. At night when the tree lights are on, they seem to be floating because they are so light. Thanks for the chance.
One of my favorite ornaments is a glittery golden ice cream cone. My parents got it right after they were married - every time we trim the tree, we tell the story of all their ornaments and this is the one I like to hang on the tree!

As a kid, my favorite ornaments were those cast-glass ornaments that are really fragile and shaped like Santa or other Christmas-y things. I was intrigued by how light they were and their rich colors. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

I love handmade ornaments.

I love all the memories various Christmas ornaments have, but my favourite is a blown glass bird with the tail made of who knows what, held on by an ancient piece of cellotape. It had that tape on it when I was a kid and it just makes me smile each and every time I see it. Thanks for the terrific giveaway and have a very merry Christmas.
