Monopoly Christmas Ornaments

Mr Monopoly Christmas ornamentMr Monopoly Ornament – Solid Resin – Approx 4

Monopoly is a well known and loved board game that was originally produced in the 1930s. Christmas Day when I was growing up meant playing board games and generally spending time as a family (there was a no television rule on Christmas Day in our house). One of my favorite games to play was Monopoly.

It’s hardly surprising that I would love to have some Monopoly Christmas ornaments to hang on my tree then is it? My daughter also loves the game of Monopoly so I think she’d love these Monopoly Christmas ornaments as much as me. In fact we have a regular ‘Monopoly Day’ during school holidays where we set up the board and play all day – breaking for lunch and snacks – I’m not sure how many years we’ll keep going as she’s starting to want to spend more time with friends, but I don’t mind as she beat me last time!!

Mr Monopoly Celebrates Christmas – Mr Monopoly Christmas Ornaments

Sometimes Mr Monopoly gets bored with gracing the game of monopoly box so he hops off……especially at Christmas time. You see, what many people don’t know is that Mr Monopoly absolutely loves the smell of pine needles so making a Mr Monopoly Christmas ornament was bound to happen.

In his 60s there’s no sign that Mr Monopoly will slow down which is probably why there’s quite a few Mr Monopoly ornaments for you to choose from –

In this Christmas ornament the game of Monopoly is forever linked to Christmas as it’s made to adorn family trees wherever you’re celebrating the holiday season.

I’m sure I’m not alone in having memories of playing Monopoly at Christmastime, so why not make the connection ‘oficial’ with one of these cool ornaments?

In 1999 Monopoly fans voted for the sack of money to become the new Monopoly game token.

Celebrate the sack of money with this Monopoly Christmas ornament hanging on your tree.

Is the racing car your favorite Monopoly piece?

Mr Monopoly certainly seems at home in it and this is another fantastic Monopoly ornament for your Christmas tree.

If you’d rather you can also get the racing car piece on it’s own without Mr Monopoly driving it. Personally I think that’s the one I’d prefer because I often have to be the racing car as I usually miss out on having the dog since I’ve become a mother!

Everyone Aboard the Monopoly Express – Monopoly Train Christmas Ornaments

Long before we had the movie The Polar Express trains and Christmas trees seemed to be linked which is why it should hardly surprise you that you can get train inspired Monopoly Christmas ornaments and you’ll never guess who the train driver is ……. why it’s Mr Monopoly himself!

Doctor Who Christmas Tree Decorations

Covering your tree with Doctor Who Christmas Decorations is something all Whovarians would love to do I’m sure.   There are certainly a lot of different Doctor Who Christmas tree ornaments available to satisfy any fan.

Even if you’re not a die hard Whovarian you have to ask the question – Who doesn’t love Doctor Who?   This British Sci-fi series has been running for over 50 years and I like millions of other children can still remember hiding behind the sofa when the Daleks were around!

These days there are so many different ways of decorating your Christmas trees that it’s easy to create a fandom themed tree of your choice and right now I’m choosing Doctor Who!

A Doctor Who Christmas Tree

Turning Christmas into a Time Lord Celebration

doctor who christmas treeDoctor Who Kurt Adler Christmas Tree

This Christmas tree has everything you need for a Doctor Who themed tree – it’s blue and includes a silver garland and 22 ornaments.

The ornaments include the 11th Doctor, the Tardis, the Cypermen and Daleks.

Now this tree would be a great gift and ideal for a younger fan to have in their bedroom or an older fan to have on their desk at work or in their home office. As far as a family Christmas tree goes, however, the tree is only 18 inches so get out your ruler and you’ll see that means it’s pretty small.

The reviews also aren’t that great which is why my suggestion would be to create your very own Doctor Who Christmas tree.   Let’s see how easy it would be….

How to Create Your Own Doctor Who Christmas Tree

A Blue Christmas Tree

Now first you need a Christmas tree and whilst you could use a ‘real’ tree or the same tree that you already have whether it’s green or white or some other color I do think that a blue tree says the Doctor. If you agree with me then you can choose one of these cool blue Christmas trees, if you don’t then skip to the next part to continue creating the ultimate Doctor Who fan tree.

Doctor Who Christmas Tree Lights

In my house, after the tree is put up we add the lights. Now depending on which tree you go with you may decide not to use any lights as some of the selections above come complete with lights as they are. If you did decide on lights then you could stick with generic fairy lights or go with something more in keeping with this tree’s sense of style ……
doctor who tardis string lightsDoctor Who Tardis String Lights

These Tardis string lights are a perfect addition to a tree designed to show off your love of the Doctor!

Despite the Tardis being bigger on the inside these string lights are of the same time and dimension as you which means that they are the size they state!

In other words with these lights you are getting 10 lights on a 9 foot cord which I think is ample to make an impact on your tree, but if you wanted more you can plug multiple stings into each other.

Christmas Garlands & Tinsel

Now as hard as I’ve looked I can’t find any fun Christmas garland to hang around the Christmas tree that says The Doctor, although I did find a Doctor Who Garland that is nice as a piece of decor, but wouldn’t work (in my opinion) on a tree.

One fun idea that you might like, especially fans of the Fourth Doctor, is to get the scarf that Tom Baker made famous and wrap that around the tree like a garland!

Personally I would stick to silver tinsel if you really wanted to add something to create more depth on your tree.

The Fun Part of Creating an Amazing Time Lord Inspired Christmas Tree

My favorite part of creating a themed Christmas tree is finding all of the different ornaments that are available to really bring your theme together so let’s check out the selection of Doctor Who Christmas ornaments that I was able to find –

 

 Doctor Who Tardis Figural Ornament Doctor Who K-9 Blow Mold Plastic Ornament Doctor Who Set of 4 Christmas Ornaments Doctor Who Kurt Adler Yellow Dalek Ornament Doctor Who Weeping Angel Christmas Ornament Ksa Doctor WhoTM Blue Dalek Robot Ornament 11th Doctor & Sonic Screwdriver Ornaments Doctor Who 80mm Glass Disc Ornament-1 piece Doctor Who Cybermen Ornament, 4.25-Inch

Now there are other ornaments that you can add to this tree that will make it even more of a tribute and that’s things such as a recorder Christmas ornament if you’re a fan of the Second Doctor or jelly babies if the Fourth Doctor is your favorite. Other ideas include a coin (for flipping), a cricket ball, bow tie or a fez – any of these as Christmas ornaments will help to add a unique flavor to your Doctor Who Christmas tree.

Now we need something to place on top of the tree…..

Doctor Who Tree Toppers

Now I have to be honest I would’ve preferred to put a Tardis on top of the tree or a Dalek (for nostalgic reasons), but the only tree topper I can find is this Weeping Angel one and I must admit it is pretty cool …..  You can have a choice as to what you would like on top of your Doctor Who Christmas tree – an angel as in the weeping kind or my favorite Doctor inspired tree topper – the Tardis!

Musical Instrument Christmas Ornaments

Have a Musical Christmas with some Musical Instrument Christmas Ornaments!

piano christmas ornamentIt’s fun to have a Christmas tree that looks a little different to your friends and neighbors one. One way of doing this is by personalizing your tree with special Christmas ornaments. If you’re a musician then a musical instrument Christmas ornament is exactly what you should have on your Christmas tree.

My daughter absolutely loves music – she sings, dances and plays guitar. She also loves to write her own songs, it’s like having my very own Taylor Swift in the house! A guitar Christmas ornament is something I’ve been meaning to add to the tree, although she’s also been looking at playing a different instrument in the school bank so we may have to get yet another instrument to hang on the tree as well!

Christmas ornaments aren’t just to put on your tree they also make fantastic gifts so if you know someone who’s into their music why not buy them a musical instrument Christmas decoration? I think that music teachers would love to receive a cool little ornament for their tree as well.

Whatever type of musical instrument you like to listen to or even play from strings to woodwind, brass to percussion there’s a Christmas ornament to match and I personally think there would be nothing cooler than a totally musically themed Christmas tree. If you don’t want to go quite that far then simply pick one or two instruments that have specific appeal to you and hang them on the family tree this year.

Whether the person in your household plays the violin or the harp there’s a string musical instrument Christmas ornament just for them.

 

Banjo Christmas Ornaments

I do enjoy listening to banjo music, but I don’t actually know anyone personally who plays the banjo which is a shame because I love the last round ornament featured in this selection and I think it would make a great gift to any banjo player.

Cello Christmas Ornaments

Miniature Cello Christmas Ornament

 

I first ‘discovered’ the cello when I was a teen and I used to watch the television series of Fame and Lori Singer starred in it playing – you guessed it a cellist. The cool thing that I remember is that she was actually an accomplished cellist before landing the role of Julie.

Anyway enough of the trip down my memory lane! I hope you like the cello ornaments I found for you.

Guitar Christmas Ornaments

String Musical Instrument Christmas Ornaments

I’ve put the guitars first because I’ve been looking at them personally trying to decide which one will be best. Of course if you can’t decide on a single guitar you could always have a collection……. and you’ll find single guitar ornaments as well as sets of ornaments at the great page below –

Harp Christmas Ornaments

Harps are the musical instruments of choice for angels which means that whether you play them or not these ornaments are made to be placed on Christmas trees in households around the world!

Violin Christmas Ornaments

I think that the violin is the one instrument I wouldn’t like my daughter to learn to play and luckily she hasn’t shown an interest in it so we don’t have to add any of these ornaments to our tree. A beautifully played piece of violin music is absolutely lovely, but unfortunately I used to live next door to a child learning to play the violin and I can’t stand that screechy sound that seems to be all part of the learning curve!
Kurt Adler 5.5

This Christmas ornament looks great on the Christmas tree and is an ideal gift for any violinist that you know. It measures approximately 5.5″.

You may prefer one of these other violin Christmas ornaments and if that’s the case you can find out more information by clicking on the appropriate musical instrument Christmas ornament.

I absolutely love the first French Horn ornament I’ve featured here, it adds a touch of fun which is what Christmas is in our household. Of course, if you prefer a more realistic French Horn ornament I’ve added those for you as well.

Saxophone Christmas Ornaments

Miniature Saxophone Christmas Ornament 3.25

 

I absolutely love listening to the saxophone and I must admit that I really liked the sax solos that were in some of the iconic 80s songs as well (my daughter does groan and say I’m stuck in the 80s when it comes to music, but really…..) songs such as True, Careless Whisper, Smooth Operator, If You Leave and many more totally sold me on this instrument.

Trombone Christmas Ornaments

When I was at school I really wanted to play the trombone in the band as I thought it looked pretty cool, unfortunately I couldn’t make a single note when I breathed into it so the place went to someone else and I refused to consider another instrument ……… school band and I were obviously not to be!

Lots of people seem to choose the clarinet as their instrument of choice when they’re at school (or at least it seems that way to me) which means that there’s a lot of people who you could buy a clarinet ornament for.

Flute Christmas Ornaments

As far as woodwind instruments go the flute is by far my favorite and I really regret that I never learned to play it. Flute music is really uplifting and I must say it evokes images of open meadows or clearings in woodland during medieval times – images taken from a combination of history books and old movies!

Back in the present day any flutist is sure to appreciate having one of these ornaments to hang on their Christmas tree to celebrate the holidays – why they might even be persuaded to play a little tune for you as you all gather together to celebrate the season.

Out of all of the musical instruments the drums are seen on the most Christmas trees along with the little drummer boy. Here are just a couple for you in case you have a drummer in the family.

More Drum Christmas Ornaments

Not only can you get an ornament featuring the little drummer boy himself, you could also get one which shows Santa rocking out on the drums! I’m no drummer, but I think a drumming Santa looks pretty cool myself!

I do love the fact that you can also get more specialist drum ornaments as well such as the kettle drum or the snare drum.

Tambourine Christmas Ornaments

Tambourines always makes me think of 60s hippies or the Hare Krishnas! They are however used really well in bands and I was very impressed with the tambourine players in my daughter’s school band a couple of years ago – I never realized quite how cool a sound a tambourine can make when it’s done en masse!
Music Treasures Co. Red Tambourine Christmas Ornament

If you know a tambourine player then show them you think it’s a cool instrument by hanging one of these ornaments on your tree. Not only does it look good, you can also make a sound with it, probably nowhere near the sound of a ‘real’ one though!

Who here hasn’t had to play the triangle at least once in school? Personally I hated having to play the triangle, but if you know someone who loves this instrument …. and I know such people exist …. then why not check out this ornament –

I’m not sure why I hated playing it, possibly because you never saw any pop idol or rock star playing the triangle!!

Piano Christmas Ornaments

I love listening to the piano, I really wish I could play it myself. A piano musical instrument Christmas ornament would be really great on anyone’s tree whether they play or just like to listen to ‘the piano man’.

There’s quite a selection of this decorations available which is great as you could get a different one each year for your piano teacher as a gift that is sure to be treasured.

But wait there’s more…

What about a musical clef?

My daughter saw a musical clef Christmas ornament on Amazon and has been asking for it, it’s suitable for any music lovers – people who sing, dance or even play a musical instrument. I think this might even make it’s way into someone’s Christmas stocking this year, but don’t tell her (it’s a secret!).
Silver Glitter Music Note Ornament Set Of 3 Assorted

This set of musical Christmas ornaments includes not just the musical clef but also a couple of notes which I know my daughter will love and I’m pretty sure any music students, lovers or teachers would enjoy as well.

It really is a gorgeous way to add a little music influence onto your family tree.

Shoe Christmas Tree Ornaments

I Love Shoes at Christmas!

Fashion Avenue Peace on Earth & Perfect Shoes Banner Christmas Ornament

You can celebrate a new family member with baby shoes or even pop on your favorite blue suede shoes! Let’s have a look at what shoe inspired Christmas ornaments I’ve found for you.

Personally I think the ornament pictured here sums up what many women want for Christmas – the obligatory peace on earth along with the perfect pair of shoes (although I’ll freely admit the perfect pair is subject to change on whim!)

Having said that sometimes you just need a pair of high heels and forget about mere words! This set of holiday high heel shoe ornaments are simply gorgeous and just an example of the gorgeous shoe ornaments you’ll find on this page –

Boot Christmas Ornaments

Of course Santa is known for his ‘Santa’ boots which means that we couldn’t really not pay homage to boots as well as shoes on our Christmas tree! I must admit there’s something pretty special about a pair of high heeled boots and then there’s people who love their cowboy boots. Whatever style of boot you love you can hang an ornament onto your Christmas tree to celebrate them.

If you fancy a pair or two of boots to hang on your Christmas tree then you’ll adore the selection that I’ve compiled on the page below –

Lighthouse Christmas Ornaments

I always felt like there was something special about lighthouses, in fact when I was younger I wanted to live in one!   The sound of crashing waves on rocks, the spiral staircase inside, to me it was a romantic sounding place to call home and would be a perfect place to live and write novels.

I have since grown up and live in a more pedestrian house with my family, but I still love lighthouses which is why when I saw that you could get lighthouse Christmas ornaments I just had to share.

Now I just have to decide which lighthouse ornament to get for my tree because if I can’t live in a lighthouse at least I can celebrate the holidays with one!

I do love the selection of lighthouse Christmas ornaments that I’ve posted above because they’re shaped like lighthouses, but you can get some that are simply images of lighthouses on hanging ornaments like these –

 

 Goat Island Lighthouse Ornament Pigeon Point Lighthouse Ornament Light House Beach Ornament Scenic Lighthouse Beacon Christmas Ornaments Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Snowflake Ornament Harbor Town Hilton Head Christmas Ornament

 

I’m sure if you look hard enough you’ll find even more gorgeous lighthouse ornaments, but how are you going to incorporate them into your holiday decor?

I will probably just add one or two to our family tree as we have quite a mishmash of different types of ornaments representing things that each member of the family love.

You could decorate your whole tree with lighthouses which would be awesome in my opinion and a great way of showcasing your love of these beautiful structures.

Another idea would be to add a lighthouse ornament  or two to a nautical themed tree, I think I could get my husband to go along with this idea especially if I find a couple of scuba diver ornaments to add to it!

Thinking outside of the box you could add lighthouses to other architecture structures like famous buildings from around the world – perfect for an architect!

However you decide to use your lighthouse Christmas ornament(s), you first have to decide which one to start your collection off with, I quite like the 2013 Hallmark Holiday Lighthouse #2 myself.
