Trim the Tree Thursday – Nativity Tree Ornaments

Trim the Tree Thursday is sponsored by Brett at The Southern Hostess.

Ornaments with a nativity motif or theme celebrate that Jesus is the Reason for the season. Here is a theme tree decorated with such ornaments. The tree is four feet tall, lighted with clear mini lights. Trimmings for the tree include a gold bead garland, glass balls in gold, ivory and peach.

The tree is topped by an angel

Under the tree is the second nativity set I got for the collection. It was bought in December 1991 at Brooks Drugstore.

Here are closeups of the various nativity ornaments. They are of blown glass, wood, spun crystal, metals, plastic, resin, and so on. Most were bought brand new, but there are also many that are vintage.

Trim the Tree Thursday - Hallmark Mini Ornaments

For the past two or three Christmases I placed my collection of tiny angel ornaments by Hallmark on a tiny tree. The tree is just 12 inches tall and works just well for the tiny ornaments. Vintage glass balls from thrift and antique stores fill out the branches.

Here is a close-up of the ornaments.

The tree is set in a square holiday tin. In front is the Hallmank Merry Miniature nativity, which is in five pieces – Mary and Joseph together, Jesus in his manger crib, and three separate Wee Three Kings.

Another 12-inch tree holds nativity ornaments. A pierced gold star tops the tree.

Note the tiny nativities. Vintage glass balls fill out the lighted branches

Under the tree is a small stained glass nativity scene
