For many families, Christmas ornaments are timeless treasures. They are handed down through the generations and brought out each year as a way to reflect on memories past, while making beautiful new memories.
Store-bought Christmas ornaments have been more en vogue over the last couple decades, but a return to the respect for handmade items is upon us. More and more families are choosing handmade Christmas ornaments over the less personal store bought variety.
