Snow has blanketed much of the country, The Grinch is playing on TV and speakers everywhere are blasting Michael Bublé – it’s official, the holiday season is here. And while families are preparing their meals and organizing their gatherings, they’re also pulling out their boxes of beloved holiday decorations, meticulously collected over years of celebrations.
We asked readers to share their favourite and most cherished holiday decorations. You told us about gifts from loved ones you’ve kept over the years, decorations that hold special memories and kooky knick-knacks that liven up your home (we’re looking at you, crocodile in high heels). Here’s what you shared with us.
