This is our tree this year, the first live tree we've been able to put up since Tiffany and I got married nearly a decade ago.
The ornaments displayed represent lots of stages of our life together. There are classic ones from each of our families growing up, some that we bought during our dating years, and a handful (often built from LEGO bricks) that our kids have contributed.

We have always had very few generic decorations on our tree. The items we choose to display have significance to at least one, often both of us. Even the broken ornaments tell a story: the love of children is stronger than the obsession with possessions.
What story does your Christmas tree or other holiday decoration bring to mind? Would a visitor to your home learn something about your family and heritage based on the ornaments they see displayed there?
