If I can't find a Christmas ornament when I travel then I turn something that I have bought there into one.

The majority of our Christmas ornaments have stories too (we've got a lot of handmade ones sprinkled in that don't look so good, but have fond memories attached), and I love putting up the tree every year.

You are Canadian, you will love this: once we went to a Chinese exhibit at art museum in Montreal and there was a lady there painting eggs (looked like real eggs but they were not, unbreakable, etc.) and we bought one as it had a string to hang from a tree, so we figured Christmas tree ornament. The border police would not let us through customs with it as they thought it was a real egg and so we had to have them call the museum, the official museum director of the exhibit had to explain to the police what it was, etc., and we then got to bring it home. Took four and a half hours. I kid you not. We laugh at that one every time we put it on the tree. Mark always says, "This one, boys, is how we almost became Canadian as they almost wouldn't let us back into the States!" lolKaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-63454385814420582932011-09-15T17:11:20.120-04:002011-09-15T17:11:20.120-04:00I love your photos, and I do the same thing.
