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.

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.

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.

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.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable. :2couple:
