Christmas Tree Ornaments from the Seashore
From the Gulf Coast of Florida to the Central Coast of California to the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Georgia, we've celebrated Christmas near the 'Sea' over many a year. As a result, our Christmas Ornaments have gradually gravitated toward items that reflect and remind us of the seashore. We have seagulls and shells, lighthouses and ships, and a 'colorful' crab. Here I share some of my favorite 'Reflections of the Sea' ornaments that I use on my Christmas Tree each year.
Throughout this lens I've included a variety of holiday ornaments that reflect life at the seashore. Perhaps there is one or two that would fit in with your Christmas Tree ornament collection, whether you live near the seashore or just love 'all things about the Sea'..

Living Near a Lighthouse
on Tybee Island...
Lighthouses have long fascinated people, and visitors to Lighthouse locations number in the thousands every year. We were lucky enough to spend 13 years living on Tybee Island, Georgia and the Tybee Lighthouse became a favorite of ours. Naturally, collecting lighthouse ornaments to add to our "Sea" ornament collection was a 'given', especially after our daughter was married at the Tybee Lighthouse two days before Christmas in 1994!
Here are two in our Lighthouse Ornament Collection:

Bring the 'Seashore' to your Home
One of our favorite seashore memories of Tybee Island, GA was eating at a restaurant named "The Crab Shack". To remind us of those fun times, and the Atlantic Ocean we loved around the island, we acquired this fun 'Crab' ornament.
Then we added this Mollusk with a Pearl Ornament to our collection.

We See Seashells by the Seashore -
Walking on the beach and finding 'shells' is a favorite pastime of anyone who lives near the Ocean, or visits on vacation. Over the years we collected quite a few shells on the beach, and seashell ornaments for our Christmas Tree and home decorations. These two are of a lacy-looking gold color, but my camera wouldn't show off the gold very well. They do look lovely hanging on the tree, though.

This beautiful glass ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, the ornament was delicately hand painted with many bright lacquers and glitters for you to enjoy! 3 3/4" Tall.

Seagulls along the Shore
My very favorite ornament ...
Seagulls and the seashore go together, so naturally we had to have a "Seagull" ornament for our "Reflections of the Sea" theme.
Seagulls also soar around fishing vessels and 'ships at sea', a constant reminder of the sea.

List Price: $6.95
Only 3 inches high, this Fly-Thru window ornament features a beautiful design and fine detail. It has magnets holding the two halves of the design together on each side of the window, giving a 3-D effect of "flying" through the glass.

Christmas by the Seashore...
Since we lived near the seashore for so many years, our Christmas Cards were often photos of our children with the ocean in the background. Below is one of my favorites, taken Christmas 1976 on the Breakwater at Morro Rock on the California Central Coast.
May you all have a joyous Christmas Season.

- I will have to revisit this wonderful lens before long. . .We had a tragedy, Christmas morning when our 9' tree fell over before we got up and smashed over forty old glass ornaments dating back to 1928. ALL of the old family stuff. All I could think was. . . oh good- it didn't land on the new 60' flat screen!!!
