On sources for collecting your ornaments Christmas ornaments could be a little difficult. Most shops not all shops my shop in particular I do keep my ornaments out all year round but and I wish that most shops would do that because holiday collecting is very serious and there are a lot of collectors out there that I'm sure that would be much happier to be able to walk into a shop and see a wide range to choose from. Not just 3 weeks before Christmas so crusining hte shops is one thing especially during the holiday seasoning like 3-4 weeks you would see a abdunce out. So the best time to shop in shop is a month before Christmas people put out there displays. Unless you come to a shop like mine which I carry my ornaments are out all year long so that is helpful to know when you are visiting shops. The other resource for you is to go to shows and there are a lot of Christmas collectible shows Atlantic City is one of the premier shows that goes on 2-3 times a year I thing that you can go to and they do have a wide range of Christmas collectibles There are local shows that are inside and out that you can go to for collecting these ornaments. Then you also have resources like the Internet and eBay. eBay has a number of ornaments on there web page so there is a endless supply there so you do have to be careful when you are choosing cause you are not seeing these ornaments so you have to rely what people or how people describe them so I would be careful when you are buying on eBay. So those are a few sources for you.
