I have ornaments from my grandparents and others collected over the years that I consider so precious. I have a giant hurricane candle holder that I empty at Christmas time and fill to the top with all of the ornaments. It looks beautiful and I feel that my ornaments are protected from harm. You can even use the ones that have lost their tops. Just turn them so that the tops are hidden. I have antique bead garlands that I weave in around the ornaments.
