Ornament collecting
is Christmas tradition
No other time of year inspires more
goodwill and merriment among Canadians
than Christmas. Family and friends gather
to rekindlke the home fires and spirit of
celebration that magically descends upon
all of us during the season.
For centuries, people everywhere have
engaged in elaborate preparatior.s which
mark the coming of Christmas. From the
traditional choosing and de-corating of the
Christmas tree, to the last minute wrapping
of presents, these activities create a sense of
excitement that endures throughout the
holiday season until New year's resolution
time.
Decorative items can be found just about
anywhere -from the forest cone pine boughs
and berries, ribbon from the sewing kit and
specialty items abound in card and gift
shops.
▪ One Christmas tradition that has become
increasingly popular among Canadians is
ornament collecting -remember that
favorite glass bulb from your childhood?
Reseai,ch indicates that more and more
ornaments are being given and received by

into each.
Beautifully handcrafted decorations like
the antique rocking horse; Baby's first

nuzzling a seal are just a few of the wide
selection of Keepsake collectibles prodcued
by Hallmark this year.
Many of the ornaments are also dated,

Christmas wall plaques which express the
sentiments of the season make fun stocking

friend or older relative. They can be a great
way to say the words that are often difficult
to personally express.
