Christmas Decs Picspam Part One

teddy_radiatorLiveJournal hates me this evening. Just trying to upload a bunch of pics and it doesn't want to work. Let's try it in two parts, then. I decided to try and take some closeups of the decs to show some of the details of my trees. Thank you for indulging a houseproud woman.
I love this little Cheers! ornament, as well as the Krispy Kreme one in the background. We have an identical large version of this ornament as part of the Christmas village. We didn't put up the village this year - it's too labour intensive to do every year.
Trying to insert a little Steampunk into the decs. I also like the blue and silver snowball to the right.
I bought this mini-Charlie Chaplin ornament in the mid-80's, and he has taken pride of place on every tree I've decorated since.
The crown came from a little Christmas shop near London Bridge, and the key, well, I'm Teddy Radiator. I have keys.
More English Christmas ornaments, as well as the Coca-Cola bear, complete with a cold one in his left paw.
This happy little snowman head is one of our favourites. You can't really see the blush on his little cheeks, but he's so sweet.
This is my original Elf on the Shelf. It was given to me by my kindergarten teacher when I was five. Poor little guy is more darning and patching than he is solid nowadays. He has these little warbling chime/bells inside and they sound very sweet when you (very gently) shake him. That's Hedwig on the stack of books beside him.
When I left the UK to move back here, a dear friend of mine gave me this Marmite ornament because she wanted me to have something that reminded me of the UK, as if I needed any reminder of my special years there. It's an actual jar that's been flattened.
TheHubs™ bought me this bag of Bertie Botts Beans at BHS the year the first movie came out. I wouldn't take a million dollars for it.
Some toys sitting 'neath the tree. The Santa on the right was my first Christmas present.
A closeup of my Elf on the Shelf. I think he has loads more personality than the newer ones, even if he's threadbare.
My German pickle, an Elizabethan woman I got at the Tower of London, and the white bauble to her right was a gift from a tea shop patron. We had this tree in the shop, full of gorgeous ornaments, and our customers often gave us ornaments as gifts to add to it.

*proud*: "This is our pickle."
*totally bewildered*: "Okay? Er..."
