It was partly because I discovered food miniatures on Etsy and bought a bunch of tiny versions of our favourite foods!! We also always pick up an ornament when we go on vacation and if I can't find a good one, I'll often use a keychain as an ornament. Plus, I always get a photo cube from Shutterfly of our family photos that year.
For Hallmark, I've got tons of them from Star Wars to Harry Potter to Elf to Barbie to Disney princesses! But the only ones I truly collect would be the Family Game Night ones - otherwise I just get one to reflect the memory and that's it. But I have so many ornaments that I needed to get a second tree for our family room last year and I loved it!
Just to give you an idea of the extent of my obsession, here is the first of two pages I'm working on about the ornaments I acquired JUST IN 2022!!!

Wow! What an awesome layout! I'm going to scraplift this idea for this year. I love it!

I do get a yearly lenox ornament that is our family ornament... usually it is personalized and has the year one it. I started when we were married and we are at 19 years... oh man, is it expensive. Why did I do this? Now I feel like I can't stop... lol.
