Personalized Family Tree Ornament Giveaway | I’m Lovin’ It

Family traditions are one of my favorite things about the holidays. It’s so special to have meaningful things that we do as a family year after year. When our girls were younger, my mom would give them an ornament each year and we would put their name on it. They get so excited when we put the tree up, to dig thru our ornament box and reminisce about each one. When Heather moved to her own place, she took all of “her” ornaments with her, so it made her new tree feel a little like home.
When it is time to put the tree up, they each place their ornaments where they want on the tree………I may be known to go around and “fix them” a little later 😉
For some reason, we don’t have many “family” ornaments. We have the “Our First Christmas Ornament” that is 27 years old and still standing!!! I love the idea of having a special ornament to represent our whole family though. This year I’m starting a new tradition! I want FAMILY ornaments……..that way when our last one goes and we have an empty nest, we don’t have an empty tree!
So it’s no doubt that I fell in love with the new Family Christmas Tree Ornament from The Vintage Pearl. Isn’t she a beauty?! I can’t wait to hang it on our tree.
Erin at The Vintage Pearl was so kind to send my family a Personalized Christmas Family Tree ornament . The ornament arrived in a small tan box nestled in padding and wrapped in a pretty pale blue ribbon accented with a pearl. Perfect for gift giving, if you’d like to give one as a gift.
Speaking of gifts…….. The Vintage Pearl products are all handmade by Erin and her team in their Tulsa, OK studio. They use quality materials like silver, gold, swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. They have a large assortment of Handstamped Jewelry. It is always fun to have something unique and personalized just for you or someone special.

We sing a carol before we open our gifts!
My daughter was born this year and is only a few months old so we don’t have any family traditions yet but I plan on spending a Saturday decorating the house together. I also read a cute idea where a christmas elf drops off a package on christmas eve with hot cocoa, christmas pj’s and a movie, which I plan on starting next year!
We always get a Christmas ornament for each year.
We have lots of traditions….open one gift on Christmas Eve and it’s always pj’s, cookie baking day with my sister-in-laws, decorating the day after Thanksgiving, etc.
We also do family ornaments and love going through our own boxes. So much fun!!
we usually get a few new ornaments from places we’ve been throughout the year.
my mom always makes a big wreath shaped cinnamon bread for Christmas morning
I give each of my kids/grandkids an ornament that represents something they accomplished during the year. My daughter and I get together about a week before Christmas and have our “bake day” where we make candy, cookies, breads and nut’s & bolts for friends and family.
we like to eat breakfast in the morning of Christmas, then read some devotion and finally open presents! 🙂
Carrying on the tradition of opening one gift at a time Christmas morning. My mother-in-law started this one year after all her kids tore into their gifts and she didn’t even know who gave what. We love it…makes the day last longer.
We always open a new pair of pj’s on Christmas eve and I love carrying on that tradition with my own kids!
For 30+ years we have gone to dinner on Christmas Eve at a favorite Mexican food restaurant. We invite family, friends, and anyone who doesn’t have somewhere else to be on Christmas Eve. It has made for a fun and ever changing evening and we know everyone has fun and feels loved.
my father flies planes I get him plane ornaments every Christmas. I have been doing this for 15 years. Their Christmas tree is full of the planes.
We have secret santa for our family. It’s a riot with the adults that live far away. They’ve delivered items very uniquely.
We do a white elephant gift exchange on Christmas Eve and go to take cookie plates to the fire stations!
Before kids my husband and I would always drink hit chocolate with peppermint schnapps while decorating the tree. We continue this tradition with our daighters but make sure they dont have any if our “special” hot chocolate 🙂
On Christmas Eve my family (33+ years ) have a fondue dinner before we open gifts. I did this as a child and carried it to my family. It is a slow moving meal and gives lots of opportunities to visit. The kids liked it as small children and like it even more now as they are adults.
We have a ski trip planned with my husband’s family for Christmas time!
We always have brand new pajamas for the whole family and we open them on Christmas Eve and all wear them to bed after a family picture by the tree! We watch the Polar Express and for me it is the best, most magical night with my husband and kids. I look forward to it every year 🙂
We usually decorate outside and inside the weekend before Thanksgiving. We go pick out a real Christmas tree for the weekend after Thanksgiving and decorate it that night (mostly the boys who are 9 & 10 this year). We open Christmas presents from (us) Mom and Dad after dinner of “chicken wild rice soup”. Christmas morning the boys usually are awake by 6:30am (so am I usually) to open presents from Santa. Dad will make breakfast after things settle down… get kinda sad its all over that quick 🙂 Thanks
I made a Christmas ornament for my daughter every year while she was growing up, then when she left home she had a set of ornaments. I then continued the tradition for each of my 4 grandsons and I am now continuing the tradition with my great grandson.
We visit our local botanical conservatory to take Christmas pictures.
We decorate our tree together with ornaments we collected during our travels. Every ornament comes with a memory.
Our biggest tradition is putting up our Christmas tree and the kids getting to take turns each year putting the angel on top
We all open up a new set of Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve for each of us!
We have a white elephant gift exchange
We open family gifts on Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day morning open gifts with extended family after brunch.
Christmas Eve is always spent at my amazing mothers house. She is making favorite traditions for my children to carry on to theirs – our favorite item to receive – her stockings for all of us!!
A big, extended family euchre tournament at our family Christmas party. Crazy fun!
We decorate the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving.
we celebrate christmas on the 24th since we are german
Root beer floats and pizza Christmas Eve
Our Christmas tradition started on my daughter’s 1st Christmas. My husband, daughter and I all watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas together before my daughter’s bedtime. After it’s over, we put out a few cookies and a glass of milk for Santa and a few carrots for the reindeer, and then it’s off to bed she goes.
We always decorate our house and put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.
One of our traditions is to put the tree up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Another is on Christmas morning we eat monkey bread while opening gifts!
We have so many, but a few of my favorite traditions are: making Gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving (each person in the family gets their own house and we end up with a Gingerbread village), new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve, and a new ornament each year for the tree signifying a special even from the year.
On Christmas eve we gather at the home of my Aunt Nena’s house. We have been doing this since 1965. The family then was small, but now it has grown and it is just so much fun to see each other. And the food is great, oriental rice (Aunt Nena’s recipe), tamales, ham and Chile Colorado. Oh, and lots of Love, and laughter. <3
We read the Biblical Christmas story, sing carols and drink homemade eggnog on Christmas Eve every year.
Our Christmas traditon is we all get together for dinner and exchanging of gifts and the family photo.
I started collecting Disney ornaments myself as a teenager. I had a fully decorated Disney tree by the time I moved out on my own. My teenage girls love it and hv their own favorites. when my oldest was born premature two weeks before Christmas…unexpectedly I decided to start her hope chest of Christmas ornaments. So anywhere we go, any first event in her life (and her sister) I purchased an ornament as a souvenir or something to alter into an ornament rather than a t-shirt or other piece of junk. They will look through their ornaments every year but won’t trade the Disney tree to use theirs. they both love it and we started the same thing for my three baby nieces. so essentially we have two traditions here! I would love the ornament for one & the gift certificate for the other!
We have several, but one of y favorites is sorting through our Christmas cards that we receive from friends and family to select our favorite for that year.
On Christmas Eve our family gathers at my brother’s home for my sister-in-law’s famous taco soup. The other family members bring all the additional toppings and their favorite dessert to share. We, also, have a White Elephant gift exchange later in the evening which provides many laughs and joyful memories!
Christmas trees in the kids rooms
my favorite Christmases as a family was when we’d go to grandma and grandpa’s house and the whole family would be there having dinner and joking with each other. I so cherish those days because they just seemed to fall apart when my grandma passed. The were individual gathering, but no big families. When my sister and I had our children (girl for her – boy for me), the joy of Christmas was back! It was beautiful for 18 years. Unfortunately, when my mama passed, our family feel apart. No matter how hard I tried to bring everyone back to the table, to the joy of being together as a family, it just broke my heart. Now my son is 30 and he and i have learned to have complete joy at the holidays and gather to make snack foods and watch a funny movie and drink coco. It’s just he and I now but we enjoy the day … and he makes his mama the most happiest when he takes me to Christmas Eve Mass! My mama used to tell me you make things the best you can and rejoice in the small things. I miss her dearly and will thinking of her even more on this special time of year. HA who would think I would put all this down for the first time in my life on another’s webpage! Thank you for opportunity to share!
We do a white elephant exchange with all of our cousins!
I always have a cookie exchange of some sort during the holiday season. I’ve had it with my friends or I’ve organized it for my daughters Girl Scout troop or even a few times for my sons Cub Scout troop.
We have collected at least one new ornament each year, and try choose one that represents something significant that happened that year. It might be an ornament from where we went on vacation, or a football ornament for the year that my son started playing football. I consider it a memory tree!
We have a number of traditions, including opening gifts on the 24th, smashing our gingerbread house the day after Christmas, and picking a night to go for a drive, get hot chocolate and look at lights. Then we vote for the
Griswold award for the most over the top house.
Our favorite Christmas tradition is all the family, including extended, meets together at 3:00pm every Christmas Eve for a non-alcoholic party. We eat, we play games, someone is assigned to read a story, we always have a white elephant gift exchange and we laugh ourselves sick throughout the evening. We clean up around 7:00pm, hop in cars and go look at Christmas lights.
