What are your favourites? Or oldest, cheapest, or 'clever makes' that are just a little bit different? |

I spent some time in Germany and I have collected a whole variety of mostly wooden decorations. |

Well last weekend I put up the tree.managed to find the lights quite easily. I plugged them in and noticed one wasn't working so I gave it a little twist and........whoosh a shock went up my arm to my elbow. Boy did it hurt. my daughter said my face went white! |

Lucky it was only a slight shock Florence. Best unplug them first next time. |

Mines an artificial Robin, inherited from my mother but not particularly old. It used to be game for our children to try and spot it amongst everything else. Even though they are now adult, it’s still a traditional game before dinner is served. |

Since having our children, we have lived in many locations in England and Europe and like Von we have some little German tree ornaments, which are wood painted bright colours, skier, toboggan, parcel stack and elf are some I recall. |

We have junked all the trad Christmas lights this year and gone over to LED. They use a fraction of the power, much safer too. Prices have fallen a whole lot so LED decorative lighting is very affordable - an average Christmas tree can be decked out from £ 10 in multicolor. |

I haven't got anything particularly old, all Mum's stuff is long gone, lost in various moves and clear-outs. I love the ones I bought in USA (normally have a red/white/blue theme) and a velvety figure of Nelson I bought in London in 200th Trafalgar anniversary year. |
