Passed down, through your family. My mother i remember had a egg carton that we each received, they were from my parents first christmas tree. they must have been just ones she was going to use over and over or she was really good at knowing how many children she was going to have and my brother was a surprise. but they are so fragle that they would get broken around here so we don't use them. Then they still have some from when we were little, it is so cool to look at them and try to remember what year they came from. do you have any of these traditions.

Good question...I wish I did, but the oldest ornaments I have are the ones that were given to me when I was 2 yrs old.

Heaven, great question. No I don't but I sure wish I did.

The oldest ornaments I have are the very first ornaments we purchased the year we got married. They'd be 34 years old. I am passing mine down to my kids though.
