20 Dec A (Christmas) Tradition Unlike Any Other

Christmas traditions are a big part of the fun each holiday season.

There are many types of traditions, including those that surround the Christmas tree – the visual centerpiece of so many homes.

And while pretty trees – real or artificial – with lights are beautiful in their own right, the addition of ornaments to those trees makes each one truly unique.

In our house, we have established a nice, efficient process – Henry Ford would have been proud – for hanging ornaments.

My wife puts all of the traditional ornaments – many of which we have had for decades – on hooks and our two children hang them on the tree.

When they have finished, I move some of them higher, as the kids are not able to easily reach the upper parts of our 9-foot tree.

Then comes my favorite part of the exercise – hanging my own special ornaments on the tree.

Since 1973, Hallmark has been producing Keepsake ornaments, which feature classic cars, traditional Christmas themes and favorite characters from Disney, Star Wars™, Peanuts® and more.

I started collecting Hallmark Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments in the early 1990s, and continue to do so to this very day.

In recent years, I have been adding various MARVEL and DC superheroes to the mix, along with a smattering of other pop culture ornaments.

This year, I have created an Egowall public space (see screen capture below) to showcase some of my favorite pop culture ornaments to give you a bit of insight into one of my personal interests (or vices – you make the call).

When you visit the space, in addition to a number of our Christmas-themed decor items, you will see pictures of the following ornaments:

• Spider-Man
• Captain America (from Captain America: The First Avenger)
• Iron Man (from Avengers: Age of Ultron)
• The Road Runner
• Wall-E
• USS Kelvin (from the 2009 reboot of Star Trek)
• Galileo Shuttlecraft (from Star Trek: The Original Series)
• USS Enterprise 1701-D (from Star Trek: The Next Generation)
• R2-D2 and Jawa
• Beetlejuice
• Sheriff Woody (from Toy Story)
• Kylo Ren (from Star Wars: The Force Awakens)
• USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A
• Deep Space Nine
• USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C
• Yellow Submarine
• Delorean (from Back to the Future)
• The Love Bug

We invite you to do the same.

Create a space which highlights your interests – those things that help make you who you are – and share it with your friends, family, and colleagues.
