Wanna play "Where's Waldo" with the tree decorations? We used to play this game when the kids were little. Can you find the origami piranha? The papoose? Where is the Venetian Santa in the gondola? Point to the glass church. And the Toucan with the big bill. I spy with my little eye a tiny felt bear with jointed limbs. Where is the blue bell made from an egg carton? Can you find the Julbock? (You don't know what that is? He's the Swedish Christmas goat, made from straw.)
For several years we have played a hide and seek game with the tree. We hide green pickles and red peppers (ornaments, not the real thing) in the tree on Christmas day and then let our kids search for them. They are hard to find when there are lots of other ornaments all over the tree. We give out one last present after they are found.
Thank you Mary at Little Red House for hosting Mosaic Monday.
What a lovely mosaic you show here. Lovely lots of memories, like mine. Almost every ornament in our tree is given by friends and family. Some I bought on special occasions. Thank you for your visit and Merry Christmas

Beautiful ornaments :) We too hide a pickle on each of our trees but I haven't seen a pepper one before. The nieces and nephews love to come and find the pickle for a special treat.
ReplyDeleteWe play the "pickle game" but the adults play. It can get ugly..lol. I love a tree with a variety of ornaments, a memory tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful tree. Memories all aglow. That is the way our tree is also. Fun to have a treasure hunt. MB
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteNice mosaic.
But the goat isn´t called julbok, you missed a c in that word the proper name shall be julbock. (Julbok = christmas book.)
Nice mosaic and interesting to hear of your family traditions.
