Hers was in the family from new and gets used every year for the Christmas Pudding's white sauce. Mine is second or thirdhand, and a little too battered to use, but I love it anyway.Stevie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172414866093930481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-82640630673106743322011-12-26T09:31:26.795-08:002011-12-26T09:31:26.795-08:00I love my baubles :) terrified I'm going to br...I love my baubles :) terrified I'm going to break them! <br />Clare, that is wonderful you live in your gran's house. Love that :)<br />gbee2--I love new traditions. We try and buy ornaments when we visit new places. We also have an Eiffel Tower (no angel in sight). PS. You share a birthday with my husband.

And I, too, seemed to always be sick at Christmas!<br /><br />In the recent past (since the kids have grown up) a new tradition has started for Christmas (and my birthday, which is just 5 days before): at least one gift consists of new, unusual tree decorations. I have an angel straddling the Eiffel Tower (from when the giver was working in Paris for a semester), a beautifully-crafted glass garlic bulb (the giver is a lover of baked garlic), and this years - a small, stained glass type bee (notice my screen name). But my most favourite (I have a 'thing' about mushrooms), a half dozen tiny glass "Fliegenpilz" - a red-capped mushroom with white dots - that my niece brought from Germany! They are delicate and colourful and sparkly just like the holiday!qbee2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300637198307992274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-27297637368111605832011-12-26T07:10:34.685-08:002011-12-26T07:10:34.685-08:00Thanks for sharing your stories, ladies.
