My FAVORITE Christmas tree (of five) is our Italy tree in the office.
We have a few new ornaments this year, and this Tuscany Santa is my FAVORITE:
Here is his back with a sack covered with cypress trees.
There are three pieces of "luggage" for Rome, Venice and Pisa:
There is an espresso pot:
And finally, tiny photo frames of our friends who live in Italy: Judith, Alessandra, Mary, Diana, Judy, Barbara and Art, Gloria, etc.

What a lovely tree, and the stories about each ornament are so cool! That's the best thing about Christmas for me, the family and friends that come into our lives...
Thanks for sharing!
Ciao,
Brenda

Very cool Babbo Natale ornament. I also love the suitcase and moka. I can see how this is your favorite tree.

Hi Palma,
I was at cost plus and thought of you! when I spied a Christmas ornament of the "Roman Coliseum" there. Ti auguro un Natale di Pace e Serenità
