Okay, so I popped over, and you’re thinking I’m a true stalker now and should be in that prison you “shopped” at. Is that just a cover?? Great story and I love that your MIL gets a kick out of it! So cute! Our wierd ornament would have to be one that I purchased while stationed in Germany. I found it at a Christmas store, in July, in Rottenburg and it was the only one I could afford but by golly I was gonna get me an authentic ornament. Other than the little German guy dressed in tights I have no idear what in the world it is supposed to be. There are all kinds of chains and things hanging from his feet. Interesting. Oh, maybe it was a guy in a German prison! Eureka! That’s IT!

The weirdest ornament on my tree is the Uggalee.

I love it Julie! One of the things that drew me to your blog was how much you remind me of one of my girlfriends–who works in corrections in Omaha, NE! She is the kindest, sweetest, softest person ever…unless she has her uniform. Then I won’t mess with her! You seem like that type of lady…anyhoo…so I love love love your “odd” ornament!

I’m sitting her looking at my tree and really can’t come up with anything strange or odd. The only different one would be a fish/bobber combo one with the phrase “56 kills” that I handmade to remember this awesome fishing trip my hubbie and his buddy went on at my grandparents’ pond! HA!

That’s a good one…you’re ornament that is…very unique…can’t say I have one of those Mine would have to be ceramic Santa plaque thing that my hubby’s distant aunt gave us for our first Christmas 3 years ago. You know she grabbed it out of her re-gift pile….Thanks Aunt Gertrude!!!
(why is it ACTUALLY on our tree? Well, this is only our 3rd Christmas married so we don’t have many ornaments yet….it’s a space-filler – haha!)

haha that is definitely an ornament that you wouldn’t expect to find on a tree lol.

I don’ t know if we have any weird ones.. my husband has a lot of his mom’s old ornaments.. some are different. There are these ancient AVON ornaments that weigh like 10 lbs i think haha and there is no way you can hang them from the tree or they will fall over.. but since they were in my husband’s family I have to make them work some how.

My ornaments are all packed but I know I must have some strange ones !

They are probably ones that I have tried to make because I am not good at crafts.

Good question! This is a fun one. Well, we have an interesting assortment, but right now I think the weirdest are the ornaments that my son “makes”. They are not the cute little things that kids make at daycare, although I am sure those are coming soon. The G-man likes to pick up things he finds around the house or pieces of garbage and carefully hang them on the tree. It is his special contribution I guess!

My husband is the BIG Christmas guy… lol..
Since he’s deployed this year, I don;t have the energy to do all the decorating on my own… (we have 1 yr old twins).. so… No ornaments this year..

No ornaments here since we celebrate Chanukah. Still I think your ornament is really unique and has history behind it.
