I collect Santas.

Snowmen

Peanuts Christmas Items....especially Lucy

Are we just supposed to coleect certain items? My DH will be sooo happy!! Seriously..I just collect everything. My latest fix is gingerbread/candy type ornaments and such.

Nutcrackers!!!!! I just love them! :)

I have also started collecting Wizard of Oz ornaments. The last couple of years Hallmark has done some awesome ones. My collection is just beginning, but I'm hoping they keep that up for years to come! :)

I guess you could say I collect Hallmark ornaments. It was never meant to be a collection, but since I buy several every year, I have hundreds of them.

I wouldn't say I collect them per se, but I love Angels.

I love snowmen. I have so many that whenever I bring one home my dh just rolls his eyes and says, Oh no, not another one! LOL

Department 56 Village pieces....sigh...to be rich and have every single one....:cheesy:

OMG! We have soooo much Christmas stuff. My husband had to build a loft in the garage just to hold it all........and there is still an overflow!! :eek:
We seem to have an awful lot of snowmen, so I guess we collect them as well as tree ornaments, particularly Hallmark brand. I started buying them in the late 1970's. :D

I love snowmen, penguins and Christmas mice.

I don't just have the department 56 villages but I have different ones I just love the look of them all..my grandma has all the department 56 tho but its too expensive!

Hallmark ornaments.

snowmen, but I am running out of room for them now. Now I am looking for gingerbread houses. I do my kitchen tree in gingerbread and candy. I have a gingerbread house village on top of my kitchen cupboards, but I still need a few more.

Oh gosh, I can justify just about any collection......

--Santas that are dressed in white
--Inexpensive village pieces (love D56, but it's just too much $$. I have to draw the line somewhere!)
--Midwest of Cannon Falls S'Mores ornaments
--Penguins (I was penguin when penguin wasn't cool :))
--My latest "collection" is stuff for our crazy tree--a white tree w/ lime green, bright pink, orange, etc. type stuff.

angels and santa things. My collection is not very big so far but I'm hoping to expand it some this year!

Snowmen. I have so many and every year after christmas I get more from clearence sales. I know for the first time this year I will not be able to put all of my snowmen out, there is just too much. I will have to pick and choose from my newer this year.

It's good to see other snowmen fanatics in here-I think they are soooo adorable-I even have Holiday dinnerware in snowman theme not just decorations...

snowmen and keep thme up till the end of Feb

Hallmark ornaments & Snow Babies

Nativity Scenes. I have about 30 of them. I love them!

Snowmen.....I ust love the darn things..lol
Hallmark ornaments for my kids ...... 15 yo dd has a barbie from every year since she was born

I collect Christmas themed snow globes. I even one or two I leave out all year!

I love Snow Globes!

Gumball machines and dust bunnies. :p

Sorry, not a big Christmas collector. LOL

Snowmen definitely. I have tons of them.

christmas village stuff and cartoon ornamentsspongebob, sesame street, etc)

Gee another one I think that everyone is going to be just shocked about lmao... Disney stuff. We have a lot of other things but this year DH and I decided we are going to get rid of the rest I do not really like it that much anyway and since we are about to move it is as good a time as any. So starting this year we will have a just Disney tree. I will keep the kids special ornaments in a box and some of the other "special" things. I also collect those paint your own village things from Walmart. We have them from many years past that the kids and their friends have painted. We always buy a few more when there are new ones we really like or they go on 90% off at Walmart.

Dept 56 villages Northpole and a Christmas Story

I love snowmen, penguins and Christmas mice.

Christmas mice?!?! That's great...haha!! I never knew such a thing existed to collect! I love it! :D

Snowmen and hallmark ornaments

Gee another one I think that everyone is going to be just shocked about lmao... Disney stuff.

Same here - only Disney ornaments allowed on my tree! I do allow Peanuts and Rankin/Bass Christmas (Rudolph, etc) things in the house, but nothing else will fit on the tree..... :)

Nutcrackers!!!!! I just love them! :)

I have also started collecting Wizard of Oz ornaments. The last couple of years Hallmark has done some awesome ones. My collection is just beginning, but I'm hoping they keep that up for years to come! :)

I love both Nutcrackers and the Wizard of Oz. Both remind me of my DD19. This past Christmas was the first one that she wasn't living with us any longer and we also bought a house that was finally big enough for us. Twice the size of the last one. So I had room to decorate since we moved in the week of Thanksgiving. I bought a lot of Nutcrackers (I had a few ornament ones on the tree that had been DD's and I gave them to her for her tree, then cried when she left with them.) shhh... don't tell her....

Anyway, while strolling through walmart the day after Christmas, someone had either brought back or an employee found some stuff not put out earlier, I found the entire wizard of oz set in nutcrackers.... they are about 13 or 14 inches tall and cute as can be..... I can hardly wait to get those out again this year.

If you love both Nutcrackers and Wizard of Oz, you seriously need to look for these if Walmart has them again.

Nutcrackers for me:yup:

Snowmen, Santas (my dad played Santa from before my birth to a year or so before he died-Christmas is big in my family. He also sang well which is probably why I love music and CHristmas songs). I also love Nativities and Snowglobes. ANd I have no where to pack them up each year so we have Christmas snowglobes mixed with regular snowglobes year round. ANd snowglobe Nativity scenes-- double winner!!

Snowmen and Santas

Dept 56 Christmas in the City. DS has some of the Dept 56 New England Village.

Angels - have them all over the place with a couple left out all year.

Nothing at this point, but I'm sure my wife will start Something up sooner or later... haha.

i give it all to my daughter:gdmornincoffee:

My mom actually found me a really neat set of these a few years ago at a year round Christmas store. If I had a place for them I would leave them out all year! :)

My children collect nutcrackers, I would love to get them each one of those 3ft ones. I just buy a few new ornaments ever year, I don't really collect one thing in particular. Well, maybe Christmas books and dvds...I have to buy new ones every year.

Disney ornaments and snowmen

All of it. I do a theme every year. I am going with "Holly Jolly Christmas" this year.

Hallmark ornaments.

My mother started a tradition with her grandchildren. Every year at Thanksgiving all the grand kids get a wrapped Hallmark ornament. I had boys so my tree had baseball players, cars and boy stuff. My sister had the girls so her tree had Barbie and cute girl stuff. My mother passed away almost 5 years ago. My boys are now grown 23 & 24 and they have a nice collection of Hallmark ornaments on our tree. I be came a grand parent four years ago and started the same tradition. I just can't resist picking up a few for my self.

:holiday01

I collect Dept 56 North Pole Village. I also have the retired Dept 56 Disney houses. I am in our new house now and we are putting out the houses for display all year. Some will be in a curio, the others wil be on top of the kitchen cabinets behind glass (no dusting the snow on the houses). I can't wait. Many have been in their boxes and have not seen daylight for years.

I collect Nativity sets. When I was with my ex he used to go out and take the kids and buy me one of those Holiday bears...Loved them but man do they take up alot of room

I collect snowman

snowmen

Nutcrackers!!!!! I just love them! :)

Me too! I'm going to Germany in a couple weeks so I'm hoping to find some really great ones! The last couple years I haven't been impressed with what I've found locally....maybe I'm just getting picky, lol ;)

My weakness is nativity scenes. Any size and style. I have glass, plastic, ceramic, wood, ornaments, table tops, floor displays, wall hangings, music boxes, almost anything you can imagine!

I have a pretty good santa collection going too. I just can't seem to resist that sweet old man!

My husband thinks I'm a Christmas-a-holic. What's wrong with that!?

I love (and sort of collect) the candle-powered Christmas windmills. So far I only have 4 of them, but I'm trying to get a new one every year.

Santa's, Rudolph, Angels. Hallmark, Salt and pepper shakers, and snowglobes, The snow globes all stay out all year as do the angels, and the last couple of years has been snowman

My husband swears that the Christmas stuff doubles every year it comes down

I also collect snowmen.

I love those!!! I have one.

I collect ornaments from places we visit and things we do. They're my main souvenir.

Anything based on the Rankin/Bass holiday specials : Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, The Year Without a Santa Claus and Santa Claus is Coming to Town:)

Lenox ornaments, snowmen, and santas

I don't really collect anything but I do get Santas for the mom and snowflakes and penquins for the best friend

Anything village!! I am starting to do them for every holiday I can find them in.

I got married a little over a year ago, so this will be our 2nd Christmas. I haven't really started collecting anything yet unless you count gift wrap! I'm addicted to it, i could almost wrap each present in something different. I do want to start a village collection though.

I think I might try and get the "A Christmas Story" village this year

Oh my gosh.......I thought that I was the only one with the wrapping paper problem!!! I have soooo many......and the sad thing is I have a hard time stopping myself from buying more. Every year there are so many new cute ones out.......
Ok, I admit it....I have a problem!:giggle:

Ask Anyone That Knows Me About Christmas And They'll Roll Their Eyes And Yell Omg Snowmen!!! Ah Huh Im A Snowman Addict,,the Country Ones Theyre Everywhereee...

Snowmen here too. I started when my daughter was a baby (25 years ago) so you know I have a million. We decorate all the bathrooms, 3 of the bedrooms and the rest of the house. I go to the craft fairs every year and end up with a bunch more. I know I really need them! LOL

anything that is Xmas-fire Dept. (Santa, snowmen, fire houses, etc..)
Pretty much for my DH, cuz I dont really collect anything for me. :)

I don't collect anything. I just have a lot of decorations.

I do red and white. Peppermints, Mittens, and Snowman.:)

mine is any type of nascar ornament and the holiday cars

Snowmen and polar bears. Even my kids know I love these things, lol. When they see them, they say I would like them. Do they know me or what?

Elena

I love gingerbread items and snowmen and all year around i collect willow tree angels

Snowmen and hallmark ornaments

Also WillowTree - some are christmas/holiday

Santas--in all forms, St Nicholas, Father Christmas, etc. Figurines, paper decor, door holders, towels, dishes, cookie jars, statues....lots and lots of Santas.
Snowmen, variety of materials, but mostly smaller than the Santas...it's the only way we do snow (I live in Southern California).
DH says no more Christmas decor--the garage loft is overflowing. Hmmm well, we'll see about that!

Hallmark Christmas ornaments!

I started collecting nutcrackers a few years ago and now up to 33. I am trying not to buy anymore but in Pennys last week they had a snow man nutcracker in a tropical shorts outfit (I live in FL) and I just had to have it. I do have 2 36" ones that I put inside the front door but they are a pain to put away.

I also collect penguins, been doing that since the late 70's.

Snowmen
Christmas Trains
Votive Candle Holders

Snowmen
Hallmark Mary's Angels Ornament
Holiday Village Houses (the kind you paint yourself)
Red Hat Christmas Ornaments

Oh man, I collect so much stuff!! Here's my biggies:

Department 56 - Original Snow Village. I normally receive a building or two for Christmas each year. My photo website contains pictures of all my pieces so family can figure out what to get me next...haha!

Christmas trees. I collect fake christmas trees as well as smaller glass and ceramic ones. I have some Fenton glass trees and I covet my electric ceramic ones with the plastic lights.

Ceramic or glass candy or sweets. I'm always on the lookout for ornaments that have a dessert theme, like cupcakes, candy canes, lollipops, etc. My favorite piece is a 2' high Dept. 56 samovar that is styled after a gingerbread house! Oh so cool!

Snowmen

I collect Christmas Music... My goal is to make a Christmas mix that can play for 24 hours without a repeat... (even without a repeat of a different version of a song ie no 5 different versions of "The Christmas Song")

snowmen
ornaments from all over the place
This year Im starting on Gingerbread men
snowglobes

I used to collect Disney Snowglobes. I gave that up after my shelves at work came tumbling down on me one afternoon.

Now it is Christmas decorations that portray something reading. My favorite is a polar bear reading to a penguin from Hallmark last year.:cheesy:

Snowmen


Me too. I don't really have a lot--they're just my favorite to add to what I have. I try to add a couple new decorations each season.

If there is anything i collect it is ether Tinker Bell or Tigger, i have a mish mosh of all different christmas things, I have a rotating christmas tree stand but i put so many ornaments on it that it is to heavy....I try every year to put less but i just cant i put all of them on...

My daughter gets a silver bell every year, has since she was born. Probably the collection is more for me though. :tongue1:
Middle DS loves nutcrackers, and youngest DS decided last year that he also wanted nutcrackers, instead of a car ornament.
For me, it's trains. Love em. Can't wait to put out my new Lego Christmas train I got last month!
And last year I bought all new ornaments, gingerbread and candy. (Couldn't find enough train ornaments to cover a tree.) Now, I've become obsessed with GINGERBREAD TRAINS!
DH would like to have lots of penguins. But we're out of room for now. Maybe next time we change themes.

I collect gingerbread stuff.

Mine are Santa's, but I think this year I will start collecting snowmen too. I have noticed they are making the snowmen so much cuter now than they used too.
