My mother-in-law, who you can visit over at Jani Serendipity, is great about picking the perfect ornaments. All the Santa ornaments came from her above, Jordan’s from growing up. Below, this darling vintage ball, is from 1977, Jordan’s first ornament. I love it, it’s my favorite!

We’ve carried on this tradition of buying ornaments each year for our kids. And soon, their childhood ornaments will become “vintage” as they keep them year after year and hang them on their tree. It’s been such a fun tradition. We also collect holiday books and recently Jani gave us this book from her childhood, The Christmas Book for Girls and Boys. It even has the dedication in it. Precious!

I’m sure you’ve saved things from growing up! What are some of your favorite vintage holiday items?
