My mom decided we were definitely celebrating Christmas this year: gifts to each other, the tree, all of it. We haven't done that in a really long time, and not yet since my brother and I have moved out, so it kind of felt like a big deal. I figured to remember it I should stitch up a family ornament to hang on the tree (spoiler alert: it never hung there haha). I changed the colours a bit to reflect the red/gold/silver theme my mom decorated with.

Enjoy this picture of our tree set up :)

I also decided that I could stitch personal ornaments for each of the people in my immediate family. I stitched them all 2/1 on white 16 ct aida with DMC. They were stitched between December 20th to 25th, 2019, and also never made it to the tree LOL. So here are those:

This is my ornament, a butterfly motif from Mexicanita by YanyStitcher. (Contact her to buy one of her designs.)

This is my brother's, a poro, which is a League of Legends video game reference. The designer is FreeBeadsPatterns.

This is my mom's, both the University of Alabama symbol and her initial. I took this from the Alabama pattern I stitched in 2018, which was from a stitcher from a Facebook group.

Last but not least, my dad's ornament is one that I charted myself. I looked at some other charts, but didn't see one that was the size I wanted.
