Merry Christmas!!!



 Hello Attic lovers!

Today I have a few pics, snapped rather quickly, of some of my favorite Christmas Tree ornaments! Now, I actually have hundreds of ornaments (I'm a bit of an ornament junky). I have so many, in fact, that I can only display a fraction of them on my trees. But these always make the cut, so I thought I'd share them with you!


These next few are all blown glass ornaments from Germany. ...and they all came from Epcot! You see, on a lot of our WDW trips, we nip into the Christmas store in Germany and pick one of these up. First, we have a small candle that clips to the branch...


Next is a calendar that features not only Christmas Eve, but also Christmas Day!


And this is one of my wife's favorites. A delicate peacock, complete with real peacock feather tail!


And a Christmas cookie saying "Merry Christmas!" (It's in English on the other side)


And a feastive little star!


And, of course, the Big Man himself! I realised that even though we've had this one for quite a while, I never bothered to translate the text. Here's what it says:

Christmas wishes
I wish you for Christmas Day
the best that there can be
Health, happiness, contentment
for all eternity




Now I got this guy at Hallmark a couple of years ago just because I liked him. It would be cool to get Bob Gurr to sigh it, but I never will, lol!


And I bought this one for my wife. I bet you can't guess what her favorite Disney attraction is, can you?


And, finally, I just picked this up at the local Aldi. The "Aldi Finds" aisle is notorious for grabbing extra cash out of pockets. This lights up in different colors while the tree turns. Did I need it? Nope. Did I buy it? Yep.


So there you have it! 

Here's wishing you and yours the merriest of Christmases and the most joyous New Year!

Until next time, keep searching for treasure!

    Lots of nice ornaments here. I like the TV set on the mantle(?) a lot, but my favorite is also one of your wife's favorite: The peacock!

    At our previous house (about 38 years ago... sheesh!) I raised several peacocks and peahens. They had a large pen that they could go in to roost every night. But during the day they roamed free. They had sense enough to stay on our property. One peacock (the 'alpha male') would come up to the house, see his reflection in the sliding glass door, and proceed to throw himself at it, over and over and over, trying to drive away his perceived rival. Eventually, his feet got raw and bloody, and the door got bloody (Merry Christmas!). So I would chase him away from the door and put up a piece of cardboard on the lower part of the door to keep him from seeing himself. Then he discovered the shiny hubcaps on my dad's VW bus and proceeded to bang himself against that... stupid peacock. :-p Oh, by the way his name was "NBC".

    Merry Christmas to you and your family, Stu.

      Lol! So much for peafowl being the top in the intelligence pecking order! (see what I did there?) It's cool that you had real ones though!
      I'll let Laurie know that you approve of her fav! Merry Christmas!

    JB, I love your peacock story. Silly birds!

    Stu, I love your ornaments - especially the Jungle Cruise one.

    Merry Christmas, Stu and JB!
