Can you stand more decorations?

Nothing too flashy today, but I wanted to share this shot of part of our Christmas tree, featuring a red bird ornament. I'm sure it's special only to me, because it belonged to a late uncle. He's been gone more than 30 years now, but he's still special to me and this little red bird always brings him to life for me.
The yellow star was cut out of wood by my dad and painted by my mom, with "sparkle" help from my daughter. Another very special ornament!


This Rudolph was crafted by my mother-in-law when our daughter was very young. When you press on it, it STILL plays "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and the nose lights up. Pretty impressive, considering its age...


Just a happy Snoopy shot -- and it's actually a potholder, which you can probably tell by close examination...


And a really old-time manger scene, from my teen years...
