To any of the "Orna-Buddies" from back in the day - I think of all of you every year (as you probably know from FB) as I hang the 10 years of ornaments I received. I loved that tradition so much.

This year I started a new job at a local CU. They are a fun group of employees and they did an in-house employee ornament exchange. So fun. Reminded me of all of you and I am hoping the tradition grows here.

While there is not a flamingo here - I did "gift" a snowman ornament with a picture of my face as the snowman head. I truly hope that takes off as the flamingo or bacon ornament.

CHEERS to you all this holiday season

I was only around for a couple years of the orny exchange but I think fondly of this group when I decorate my tree each year. Those ornaments have a special place on my family Christmas tree.

Wishing everyone the happiest of holidays!!

Where I am supposed to be
I participated in 7 or 8 of the exchanges and still have all of the ornaments and when we have a tree they always get hung. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

One year a branch I managed did an ugly ornament exchange. There was a prize for the ugliest one, and it was a blast. I was the recipient of the ugliest one. We then hung them all on the branch Christmas tree. That memory just popped up in my Facebook memories last week.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ornament exchange. I have some very memorable ornaments that grace my tree each year. The most memorable would be my crocodile with an elf in his mouth. And I mean a real crocodile head. Small version of course. But I treasure each and every one I have received, from all across the country.

Far from Calif
Agree - absolutely loved the ornament exchange (even though I only participated a couple of years), and smile when those ornaments go on the tree - especially the one of the flamingo driving the car! LOVE IT!

I believe I participated every year. I ended up with the travelling Flamingo. All of the ornaments hold a special place in my heart.
