My fav Christmas ornament is this little brown unassuming box with a little blue star attached to the top. When you open it, it is filled with straw and has a baby Jesus in it. Just goes to show that you can never judge a book/box by the outside!

How to choose. I wrote a post last year about my favorite ornaments. Right now my favorite would be a snowman family my mom painted for us.
This is our first year with a Christmas tree (we've been living in Hawaii and have spend the majority of the holidays on the mainland). I have a picture frame ornament of my husband and daughter - it's a beauitul reminder of what an amazing year it's been!

I have some vintage ornaments from the 50s that I love!
my favourite Christmas ornament is a lovely door bell (literally a very big red bell), which hangs over the front door handle every year.
great giveaway. My favorite ornament is one that holds my daughters pictures.
Can I pick two? One has to be the gold painted pasta wreath my daughter made at nursery a good few years ago. The other is a bauble styled to look like a carved pixie face. I love it. Bx
My favorite Christmas ornaments are little wreaths I made one year by stringing cranberry-colored wooden beads on ribbon and tying it in bows to make the beads curve into a circle. I don't know why, but the simplicity of these little cranberry wreaths all over my tree is so beautiful to me. =)
Just the ones the kids make. We try to make some every year.
Hola!! great blog and great giveaway!! my favorite christmas ornaments are wreaths (with berries or leafs)!! besos!

My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids make at school and church each year- especially the ones with pictures of them! Those silhouettes are darling- I'd love one!
My favorite ornament is a little girl in a swing done in Swedish style. It was my moms and when I was little I always loved it. I was just facinated with it for some reason. When I got married and moved to CA, away from my parents in MI, my mom gave it to me. We still went home for the actual holiday but my mom wanted me to have that piece of our family Christmas on my Californian tree.
I love the ornaments my brother and I made when we were little out of the trunks of our Christmas tree one year.

I really like the felt ornaments that I make, but I think the cutest are always the handmade one that kids make.
My favourite Christmas ornament is a set of personalized brass ornaments my parents bought for my brother and I when we were very little. I treasure them. I supposed they would be considered vintage by now!

My favorite ornament is a wooden angel sitting on top of a moon. My name is painted on the moon. I've had it since I was born and I put it up ever year.
One of my favorite ornaments is one that I made when I was about six years old. It's made out of scraps of wrapping paper, ribbon, yarn, wire, and paper. I hand cut baby Jesus in the manger, and taped it all together with lots of "decorations." I remember working on it for hours!
Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
My favorite ornament is a silver star that I bought at a favorite store!

my favorite ornament is one I received as a child, it's a "little old lady who lived in a shoe" boot and has a little boy climbing up the lace of the shoe and these little children sticking their heads out of the window. It's so fun and whimsical and brings back wonderful memories.
My fav. ornament is a felt hand that was made when I was 3. I love holding it up to my boy's hands every year (they are now 5 and 3) What a nice giveaway!
My favorite is probably my daughter's first Christmas ornament we got last year. Thanks for the giveaway!

What a great giveaway! My favorite Christmas ornament is a white porcelain angel with a gold sash. It belonged to my husband's grandmother and is so delicate and graceful.
lovely! my fingers are crossed
My favourite ornament is the old fashioned glass balls. They are so classic
My favourite ornaments are my parents old glass ones, pointed at both ends and round in the middle (if that makes sense). They're faded gilt and I miss being able to put them on the tree every year! I haven't found anything for my tree that I love as much (yet).
Love those sihouettes, the little girl's reminds me of my daughter a lot, especially the long ponytail.
And now I'm a follower!

And just to mention I'm now a follower !
My favorite ornament..oh there is so many, I love them all. The christmas pickle is pretty great. My husband has given me some beautiful glass ones over the last few years so those would probably be my favorites!
every year my family decorated our tree different. We had themes, one year it was 101 dalmation figurines from mcdonnalds, one year it was white decorations, one year it was red, one year homemade. Since we never really used the same decorations I don't really have a favorite. My favorite theme was when we put up the dalmations though - each one being different. Thank you for the opportunity to win. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. -dez

I don't know if I have a favorite ornament. :)

We have moved a lot, twice intercontinental and right now we have only handmade ornaments, none older than 2 years and most made by my daughter at ages of 3 and 4.

My favorite ornament... well, I really like the ugly painted salt dough clay and bean ones I made with my family when I was three. My mom saved them for me. It's kind of a joke in my family, but I really do think it's cool! As for a pretty ornament... My sister painted a nativity scene onto a glass ball, and it is gorgeous.
I'm definitely following your blog from here on out.
this is a hard one...my favorite ornament is probably a hallmark mouse in a matchbox from when i was a kid.
Your silhouettes are beautiful! I've been wanting to do those of my grandkids. My favorite ornament is an angel- given to me when I was a child. It's falling apart- but so special.
Ooh, lovely! My favorite "ornament" is a little birds' nest filled with small vintage glass balls. My family tradition is that it's good luck to have a nest in your Christmas tree. Thanks for the giveaway!
Beautiful blog! My favorite ornaments are from a set a friend made (giving one a year for several years) of paper-pieced quilting. They are so tiny and delicate.
Oh, and I'm a follower!
My favorite ornament is the ornament my grandmother and grandfather received as a wedding present almost eighty years ago! It was glass painted bright blue, but now the paint is gone but a few little dots. It always hangs in the same spot every year!
Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite ornament is a flimsy little ornament I recieved in first grade. We had an elf at school that left an ornament on a different child's desk each day. It is such a fun childhood memory of mine.
I have to tell you about my least favorite ornament too. When I was very young we had gingerbread man and a gingerbread woman ornaments made from clay or something like that and they smelled of gingerbread. Well, I ate one. Bad idea. Now everytime I smell them I feel ill. I finally threw out the one I didn't eat a year or two ago.
Thanks for the giveaway

My favorite Christmas ornaments are the glass isicles... but really it's so hard to narrow it down!
Wow! great giveaway!
My favorite ornament is one I made with clay in my first pottery class. I stamped an image of Jesus, Mary, & Joseph and then painted in details. I guess it's egotistical of me to love this the most, but it reminds me of this class and the wonderful friends I made there.
