I love this. I could write a similar post because every ornament on my tree tells a story or relates to something special from that year. I started collecting ornaments early in adulthood and have a tradition of giving my husband, two kids, and myself an ornament every Christmas Eve. When we travel, I keep an eye out for an ornament to buy that will remind me of that place. It’s the most special thing in our family related to Christmas, making our tree a “memory tree” with no “filler” ornaments, only special ones. I love the ones you spotlighted!
I enjoyed your unwrapping of memories. I have a Norfolk pine plant that is a nice size that I can decorate it with small, light weight ornaments and colorful ribbon so I did that this year. I do hang on a light we have some old (from 1950's) and rather large Christmas bulbs that we put on our tree as kids. They are faded but unique and I enjoy them every year I hang them. Hope your holidays are filled with enjoyable family time and a good book or two!

Lovely post. I enjoy unpacking my ornaments for the same reasons. So many memories.
