Start a holiday tradition with recordable ornaments

It’s almost that time again … so what will it be? Popcorn garland and your children’s glue-covered art projects? Or, are you ready to move on to a more elegant and thematically garnished “designer” look? Either way, family memories can be a unique part of your Christmas tree.

From your toddler’s first rendition of Jingle Bells to grandpa’s hearty “Ho, Ho Ho,” the laughter and sounds of people and Christmases past can be enjoyed by the entire family year after year simply by using recordable ornaments!

Nothing will make the annual tree-trimming ritual more fun or an ornament more special than hearing the messages and pronouncements of loved ones over the years.

The keepsake moments are endless:

“An ever-evolving “wish list”for Santa;

“The practiced song from a school pageant;

“The wise words of a grandparent, greetings from a serviceman overseas;

“ A “we’re having a baby” announcement with the “whoosh” of an ultrasound;

“Or even a “woof-woof” from Fido. Putting a personal spin on recordable ornaments involves only the imagination.

Keepsake Quality

The trick to purchasing recordable ornaments is to make sure they are keepsake quality.

“The “record” button should never be raised, nor should it be on the outside of the ornament where little fingers, or forgetful big ones, can access it. Having a treasured message disappear or accidentally be recorded over would not add to the joy of the season.

“The sound should be clear and loud enough for all to hear … that includes Aunt Sally who refuses to wear a hearing aid.

“Make sure the message won’t be lost if the batteries die.

No tree? No problem

Even if having a tree isn’t your thing, decorating with recordable ornaments can be.
