"My True Love Gave To Me": A Twelve Days of Christmas collection

For most of us, getting a few strings of lights on the house, a wreath on the door,
and a tree up in the living room is a holiday decorating job well done. For true
Christmas aficionados, like my mother, that’s barely a start.



Why have just one Christmas tree when she can have four, one wreath when she
can have five, her line of thinking goes. She’s a super-decorator and a holiday house
wonderland is her goal.

Of all the trees in the house, my favorite is the tree in the living room decorated
with all crystal ornaments. I credit my mother with inspiring my holiday tradition
- - - for twelve consecutive years I presented her with a Waterford crystal ornament
from their “12 days of Christmas” collection. Last year was the last ornament in
that series; however now I’m looking to build upon her “12 days of Christmas"
theme. Here a few of my favorites:


row 1: Waterford sixth edition flute, $85.00, Macy’s, Plates, $99.95, Williams Sonoma, Glassware, $29.99, Macys
row 2: Napkins, Gumps, Haviland six geese a laying, Haviland, $22.00, Rubylane,Cake plate, $4,000, Neiman Marcus
row 3: Appetizer plates, $96.00, Rosanna, Napkins, $49.00, Williams Sonoma, Sakura 5 golden rings, $21.99, Replacements
