There’s the baby’s first Christmas ones – the ratty ball of thread from my first, and the ceramic handprint from my daughter’s.
There are glass ornaments with the mirrored center that I used to pretend were gun turrets on a COBRA base when I’d play with my G.I. Joes during winter break.
There are the ones that symbolize relatives I’ve lost, ones that symbolize loves I’ve gained. And yeah, there’s always room for that aluminum hot dog and that six-pack of beer with the piece of holly on it.
But there’s also room for our hockey ornaments. Being a two-team house, there’s a penguin in a Santa hat with a Chicago Blackhawks logo on it and a red ball celebrating the New Jersey Devils’ 2000 Stanley Cup championship. (One is more prominently displayed than the other, thanks to their current lots in life.)
For many of us, the things we display every holiday season are representative of who we are. So that’s why we wanted to know what hockey-centric decorations you bring out for this festive season.
Like this Philadelphia Flyers tree-topper from Lisa Waldschmitt:
Last year, we drove up to a game and back just to buy a dozen of those Flyers ornaments. The player ornaments are handmade because nothing says Christmas craft time like hockey.
"Behold, there came wise men from the east to Philadelphia, saying, 'Where is he that is born King of the Giroux?' For we have seen his all-star in the east, and are come to worship him..."
Here are some other fabulous holiday decorations.
Thanks to all the Puck Daddy readers who submitted theirs!
Merry Christmas puckheads!
