I think having special things on your tree helps to make the Christmas even more special. I see so many trees with the same ornaments and baubles hanging from them that I get very excited it I see a unique Christmas tree decoration. Finding a Christmas tree decoration that is perfect for a particular person is also fantastic. Both my hubby and daughter loved their Christmas baubles.
