As a gift to you, here's video of some of my Christmas ornaments.
I don't have many garden-related ornaments. Excluding the pear in the video and an apple, here they are.
Update: by request, here's the set of gardening tools that just arrived yesterday. (I was inspired by Carol's ornaments.)
And Christmas wouldn't be complete without a slice of my mom's fruitcake.
I wish you peace and joy for the New Year!

Those garden tools are great! I wish I hadn't seen that fruitcake, though, now I'm hungry!
Could I have the recipe for that fruitcake?
And a very Happy Christmas to you too.
That cake looks suitably heavy: I like the idea of the care involved in carving glace cherries into star shapes.
I couldn't get your video to work. :( I love your new gardening tool ornaments. I didn't know people actually ate fruit cake. I thought it was a joke. This looks good. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas MMD!!
Happy Christmas MMD! I love the ornaments and Santa delivering the greeting! gail
Merry Christmas to you, too, MMD! Those gardening tools are too cute... but what I really love is that silver tree. Mercury glass?
Mmmmm - that cake looks good. Wishing you peace and happiness at Christmas and in the new year MMD:)
Merry Christmas!!
Cindy - sorry. It is really good fruitcake.
Kathy - I'll ask my mom, when she has a moment. That might be a while.
James - that's my mom; tons of things to do, but everything needs to be done just right. Presentation of food is so important.
Lisa - that's weird about the video. It worked for me.
Thanks, Darla!
Gail - that's Professor Santa to you.
Blackswamp Girl - I don't know what the tree is. It's in a snowglobe.
Thanks, Anna. I hope you have lots of goodies and a wonderful Christmas.
ROR - thanks!
Peace and Joy to you too MMD! Merry Christmas. I am going to come by your house, sneak down you chimney. Don't be surprised with your tools are gone. Hee Hee.~~Dee
This was a fun post - a beautiful way to share your Christmas with us! I love the gardening tools... I should have hopped right on that, myself! :-) Your mom's fruitcake looks YUMMY! Enjoy! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hi MMD~~ Beautiful! Best wishes for a blessed holiday.
Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday to you.

Love your gardener Nutty! And he looks like he's made in Germany, too! (not China... which is a pet peeve of my mom's!)
Thank you for that video
I loved loved the choir
Merry Christmas to you
I couldn't view the video :( I love the little man with the rake. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
A most delicious looking fruitcake, MMD, and those tools are also delightful. Happy Christmas to you and yours from me and mine.
Merry Christmas!|
I enjoyed your video and great photography. I am among a small group of Fruitcake lovers!
Enjoy.

MMD, what treasures you have on your tree. I love the angels-our tree is almost entirely angels. Those gardening tools are so cute! And I think one other ornament could be added to your 'gardening' ones. The rabbit...just for Carol!!
Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you and yours!
I love all the angels on your tree, MMD. They're my favorites, too; no hoes or green beans decorating the trees here, I'm afraid.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas MMD! I have enjoyed your post this past year and look forwarding to reading more in 2010. H
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and joyful New Year!
Merry Christmas MMD! And here's to a wonderful 2010 :)
Just stopping by on Christmas Eve to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a delightful New Year. Thank you for a fabulous year of beautiful photography and amazing prose.
Very nice MMD, Christmas ornaments is not something I collect. I enjoyed seeing yours. Just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2010 to you and yours :-D
Happy Christmas wishes to you, too, MMD. The video didn't work for me but my day is brightened by your pretty ornaments. I don't have any gardening related ornaments... just traditional pretties for my tree. I do love using fresh fruits in glass containers though. May all your gardening dreams come true next season.

You have some lovely christmas decorations there. I see on your profile you like the Proclaimers - I live not too far away from their home town. Happy Christmas from Scotland.
How did I miss this post? Must have gotten stuck under some wrapping paper or something. Anyway, I really like your new garden tool ornaments. Those are nice and shiny!
Merry Christmas, MMD! I'm glad we got to meet this year! Here's hoping for a wonderful 2010 for you!
A peaceful and joyous holiday to you also.
