Real collectors specialise in all kinds of Christmas ornaments. Some only want ornaments that hang from trees. Others want standing Santas filling the nooks and crannies of the house. Other folks want Nativity scenes, snowmen, angels or reindeer
YOU MAY not think of yourself as a collector but how many Christmas ornaments do you have stashed away?
Come on. Even non collectors usually add at least one ornament a year to their holiday menagerie. Or, may be a relative adds one for you. In any case, ornaments seem to spill over when the Christmas boxes come out.
Real collectors specialise in all kinds of Christmas ornaments just like you. Some only want ornaments that hang from trees. Others want standing Santas filling the nooks and crannies around the house. Other folks want Nativity scenes, snowmen, angels or reindeer.
Obviously, ornaments don’t necessarily need to be old for collectors to want them either. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
The era of mass-production in America gave birth to a consumer economy and Christmas like a lot of other things bulged from the feeding frenzy. Can’t buy enough. Can’t get enough. Can’t have enough.
