Holiday decorations just mean more when they are passed down from generation to generation. While some collectibles are worth a good bit of money, the value of these pieces comes not from their worth but from the memories they have played a part in over the years. In addition to collecting passed-down pieces from your relatives, now is the time to start to collect your own pieces so you can pass them down to be enjoyed for years to come.
