We have never collected the Hallmark ornaments, but we do purchase one on every trip we take. Each of my girls has their own tree that they put up in their room (or dorm room) and they have started collecting their own ornaments, but we get them from wherever!
We do decorate our tree with a different theme each year though (we have that many ornaments). Some of our themes are: Christian/angels, travel, Disney, country/woodsy, Winter/snow etc. We keep track on a paper on the inside of one of the boxes with the themes and try to cycle through them. We seem to use Disney and travel a lot though (since those are ones that fit with our current life). Not sure what this years theme will be. Maybe I should put it up for a vote and let SSD decide!
