Every year there is a debate between those who decorate before and those who decorate after Thanksgiving.
I've experienced doing it both ways with my family, and personally, I love to have all of the decorations up as long as possible, so yes, we start early now! And studies show that decorating can definitely lift your mood and make you feel happier. So, that's a good reason, too. Right?
However, I also realize some people like to wait until Thanksgiving Day is over and perhaps, they decorate with their family that holiday weekend when most have a little extra time off from work.
There's never a wrong time to decorate. Actually, the debate is over... it should just be whatever time is best for you!
No matter when we decorate our Christmas tree in our home, it seems each year there's always a new ornament I see and must add to our collection.
So... I wanted to share some of the ornaments I've seen and liked this year. Help me to narrow it down to just two! Please!!

I hope you enjoyed this look at these special Christmas ornaments!
Each year, when we get out our cherished Christmas ornaments, I think of the Hallmark movie The Christmas Ornament and how Cameron Mathison's character refers to the ornaments as "memories on branches." That statement is profoundly beautiful, and just thinking about it warms my heart. It is simple but true. So many of our ornaments have special meaning behind them, and I'm sure many of the ornaments on your Christmas tree hold special memories for you, too!
