All this bubble talk! What's your favourite Bauble?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

To much bubble talk going on and it's depressing!

Let's lighten it a bit. What's your favourite Xmas Bauble?

Old school type with tinsel and snow hanging on those green wire hooks!

Or modern bows and flashing lights?

I like and old fashioned real tree with twinkling gentle lights. Nice smell from the tree and cozy when it's cold with the lights on.

Bit early for Xmas but who cares

I like traditionalish, I normally get a new decoration every year from somewhere special and then I have lots of heirlooms from great grandparents etc. Mainly wooden, glass or red.

There are lots up in my kitchen right now!

I have an old clothes airer above the central island with an array of different sized baubles in teal/aqua/silver with silver beads, long glass icicles, aqua ribbon and masses of Chunky tinsel

Looks fantastic I have to say

My mum had some incredibly tacky 1970s plastic ones meant to look like lanterns, gold with see through panels in different colours.

When I bought my first place she wanted to get me something as a housewarming gift and those hideous baubles were all that I wanted. I love them!

I know the ones you mean. Covered in glue then dipped in glitter

I have a xmas bauble handed down through family generations. It's a small fragile thing which always takes pride of place on my tree.

I like ones that look like Angels. My Mumma had glass ones that looked really pretty with the light refracted

Mine had those horrible yellow, green, red and blue decoration things that folded flat on themselves and looked awful hanging in big loops.

I love the good old fashioned ones, they are selling them on ebay, but the old style is expensive, so there must be a demand for them

How cool is that.

I go for basic, plain colour ones. I have red, silver and gold and change the colours between the three every year. I have a few handmade ones for special memories like the birth of my children and the death of my dad that hang amongst them.

I buy a new one for the children each year so when they leave home they will have their own collection of Christmas decorations.
