Ornament exchange




It's -6C outside and -21C with the windchill (-10F?) and it snowed a bit last night.
So what do you think of these fabric garlands? Something different. I kind of like them. My sister says she prefers traditional green garlands.

I read in a magazine about a family ornament exchange at their Christmas gathering. So you pick a name and choose an ornament for that person. That may be a fun idea for Christmas parties in general.

Friendly warning! We once did an ornament party--we only liked 2 of the ornaments we ended up with! Then your friends/relatives expect to see their ornament on your tree! Merry Christmas though.

I kind of like the ornament exchange idea - I think some people were doing this in bloggerland as well. The kind of ornament you choose would say a lot about you I think. 19 easy ways to look ten years younger? Must check that out - taking off your glasses while looking in the mirror helps.

Hey Christine

I think the garland looks wedding like. I love the ornament exchange thing. I did a stocking exchange it was tons of fun and I love to do cookie exchanges. I think it is so much fun.
Hubby loves the Bills but had to work so no game for him in person. He loved watching it on TV.

Stay warm
Happy Sunday

The fabric garland looks nice, but I have to agree that that colour reminds me of wedding as well. I've seen red ribbon work well for Christmas.

Roxi's done ornament exchange parties, secret santa parties, stealing santa (one person opens a present, next present can steal that present or open another present, next person can steal one of the other presents or open another one, etc). Lots of holiday fun :-)

Prodigal tourist, thanks for the heads up on that! There's always a catch,isn't there?

Lilly, I love ornaments, so it might be a fun thing to do with the right people. I'd like to look even 5 years younger!

Mom, I heard it was really crowded
downtown at the Bills game yesterday. There was a Raptors game going on the same evening too.

Japra, those exchanges sound like fun for the teenagers too. Hmm, those fabric garlands aren't too popular, looks like everyone prefers the traditional colours!
