There are more that aren’t ornaments. But here’s a couple more. These were all styled and painted by my mom. IMG_5497.jpeg

I think there were a couple other designs that my siblings have.

Oh yeah STRESSMAS, great a made up event to make people waste time and energy, oh yeah and cause further seperation, forgot the part where parents are supposed to lie to their kids, never mind that is standard modern society. Eating turkey and ham is cool though
We celebrate Yule, I plan on putting some sort of greens in the house on the 21st. Got a $5 tree at Kroger last year but they dont have any this year. So we might just put a potted cedar in the house
No stress LOL
I never lied to my kids about it either
 
OF COURSE!!🐢🫏
I had to move it because it had gone to the 'dark side'. :(
Now he is pooping on Snowman. 🤣

...When you vacation in the Caribbean at Christmas, that's what you find.:)
 
Does anyone have a pickle ornament on their tree? I have one of those fragile glass pickles that we hang on the tree in those years when we put it up. We keep a jar of pickles under the tree for the first person who sees it and mentions it. We don't wait for Christmas morning for the jar of pickles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pickle#:~:text=Description,a year of good fortune.

This tradition is commonly believed by Americans to come from Germany and be referred to as a Weihnachtsgurke (German for "Christmas pickle"),[6][7] but this is probably apocryphal.[8][6][1] It has been suggested that the origin of the Christmas pickle may have been developed in the 1890s to coincide with the importation of glass Christmas tree decorations from Germany. Woolworths was the first company to import these types of decorations into the United States in 1890,[6] and glass blown decorative vegetables were imported from France from 1892 onwards.[9] Despite the evidence showing that the tradition did not originate in Germany, the concept of Christmas pickles has since been imported from the United States and they are now on sale in the country traditionally associated with it.[6]
 
I saw a bunch of pickle ornaments in a store recently but we do not have one, never have.
This is always a cool idea, my sister did or does have a pickle for her tree. I don't think she puts a tree up anymore. 🥒🎄
 
Thank you for posting that!! I miss MY MOM, when I see stuff like this I feel something in my heart!! That is beyond awesome!!
I'm glad you like it!! She painted so many things, some she gave to her friends, some my other siblings have. When someone she knew got married she would paint a clock for them. Always beautiful. As far as I know, everyone she did that for still has their clock hanging on their wall (30+ years later). Even my little 6 yr. old granddaughter loves it. There is a cute little Santa that another relative gave to my son that Mom had painted and granddaughter adopted it and keeps it on her bookshelf all the time. I have one just like it but haven't come across it yet in my Christmas wrappings.
