Christopher
Ornaments
Collecting Christopher Radko Christmas
ornaments has become one of the passions in my life.
It is something that can be done at home on a computer, it
can be done while traveling, and of course at one of your
local retailers/dealers.
Rob will always tell friends that he
knows exactly what I am doing and that it is a "safe habit"
as I do it at home and he can see what I have done because
I walk away covered in glitter.
In September of 2001 Christopher was in
Seattle to kick off his tour. I helped decorate the
Seattle Women's Club prior to the event. It was a
very warm day for Seattle in September. When I had
the opportunity to talk with Christopher, he greeted me by
saying "You have as much glitter on you as I have on my
ornaments."
My response was, "Yes, that is where all
of this came from as I have been here decorating all
morning so they are missing some!"
Everyone around had a good laugh at that
one.
I started off collecting Santas my first
year. I started collecting the day after Thanksgiving
1997. That first year I had 7 Radko's on my tree.
For Christmas 2001, my collection was over 2500 ornaments -
just Radko and that does not count any of the other lines
of collectibles that I have -and 9 trees.
Christmas of 2002 there were 11 trees and
over 2800 ornaments. I had a professional
photographer come and take pictures of some of the trees
and the entry way. These images will be available
soon.
The links on the left side of this page
will take you to my favorites that are in my collection and
favorites for each year I have been collecting with links
to holiday decorations.
