Christmas Ornaments

As I've mentioned in my Christmas Movie post, I love decorating this time of year!
Here's a little bit about some of the favorite ornaments that are currently on my tree.

First I'll start with the tree topper.  For many years, we didn't have anything for the top of our tree.  We usually just used a random object we found laying around the house.  Last year I decided the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter would make the perfect tree topper and immediately ordered one from Amazon.  I have no regrets.

Foxes are my favorite animals.  I love anything and everything that has to do with a fox.  Videos of foxes always make me cry, no joke.  This is sadly the only fox ornament I currently have though, which is strange to me.  I feel like my whole tree should be covered in them, my house almost is anyway. This was a gift I didn't get until last Christmas from my mother.  Since my family doesn't get to celebrate Christmas until January, this is actually the first time this lovely fellow has been on the tree.

These two are new additions this year.  Every year I try to buy at least one new ornament but I couldn't help getting them both.  Game of Thrones is probably my favorite TV show, but I currently own nothing that declares my love for it.  I'm actually pretty obsessed, I'll talk theories with someone any day, all day.  So hit me up if you ever want to discuss some Thrones, because I have feelings and ideas.
The second is Alice from Alice in Wonderland.  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite book and is my favorite animated Disney movie.  She's a queen among Disney princesses and I can never get enough Alice things.  This is actually my 3rd Alice in Wonderland ornament, but it's my newest so that's why I chose to show her off.
Both of these ornaments were purchased at Target.

This is one that I handmade from clay a couple of years ago.  One day I got really bored and wanted to make something.  That something ended up being randomly sized round clay ornaments with random quotes from TV shows I liked.  This particular quote, "You're a garbage person" comes from New Girl.  It's said by Nick Miller and is addressed to Jess's sister.  The whole quote is funny and makes me laugh every time.  Richard and I enjoyed that part so much, we would end up randomly quoting it all the time.  Therefore, it had to be a part of Christmas.

Last year in October, Richard and I road-tripped up to Portland, Maine and fell in love with it.  It was a great week full of amazing food, nice people, a crisp-seafood smelling air, and beautiful sights.  It pretty much gave us our current house goal, and we are now saving up money to eventually buy a house up in the area.  Until then, we had to have a little bit of Maine for our tree.

Finally, the last ornaments I will talk about are these two.  These are two mini-golf balls that I accidentally stole from one of my first dates with Richard.  I was wearing a dress with pretty deep pockets and they came in handy because at this particular course in Nashville, you actually can do 3 different courses.  If that's what you decide, they give you your three ball in the very beginning and you just have to keep up with them because at the last hole of each course you lose your ball.  So I put our extras in my pockets and it wasn't a big deal.  The whole time though, we kept finding random balls that people lost all over the course so we just used ones we found and goofed off like that.  Therefore, two of our original ones got lost in my pockets and I completely forgot about them.  They just happened to be the colors we originally picked and also Christmas colors.  I asked him to drill a little hole in them and then I used a jewelry eyelet dipped in superglue and attached a hook to them and BAM.  They've held up perfectly so far for these past couple of years.

Cheers!
