Skier Ornaments

Many people like to decorate their Christmas tree with a theme. Others like to add new ornaments to their tree each year to mark occasions in their lives or special hobbies or activities. 

Among some of the more popular themes are those that celebrate a fun activity a family participates in together. Skiing is just one of those interests that can cross ages and life stages. Kids who are old enough to walk can learn to ski, and often learn a lot more quickly than us older folks who are just that much higher from the ground! 

Many people past the retirement age can also indulge their passion for the slopes. Cross country skiers, especially, often continue their sport well into their old age. Remember Jack Rabbit Robinson? He cross country skied into his nineties. Of course, skiing was an activity he had enjoyed all his life. He just never stopped!

If you have someone or several someones in your family who enjoy skiing or are just taking it up for the first time, perhaps you'll find a Christmas tree ornament on this page that will be perfect for them.

OUTSIDE INSIDE Free Ski Santa Ornament

Now we all know that Santa must love to ski -- how else does he manage to deliver so many packages so quickly? Sure his reindeer are great at pulling the sled, but sometimes a pair of skis between houses is more efficient, especially when those houses are built on a hill or on a mountainside.

Here's the old boy showing off his ski moves. Pretty impressive! 

Glaesser Cross Country Skier Christmas Ornament

German made ornament featuring a cross country skier.

This ornament reminds me of many of the old fashioned ornaments we had in my youth. 

It would be cute on the tree or as a package decoration.

Here's another nordic skiing option. It may cost a little more, but it really touched my funny bone, and I thought you might like it, too. The design is made of stainless steel flatware. There's another skier from the same company made up of spoons.

Whether skiing is your passion or not, these skier ornaments are cute, don't you agree? There's something about getting outside in the snow and really enjoying the winter months that makes the cold something you almost look forward to when the fall weather arrives.

I have many friends who spend as much time outdoors on skis as they can manage. Where I live, you don't always have to go the expensive ski resort route, and so everyone who has the desire and the physical ability can somehow get his or her hands on a pair of second hand skis and head into the white landscape.

That is, when they are not working. Actually, some people even make skiing part of their jobs.

5.5" Snow Skier on Chair Lift Christmas Ornament

This skier ornament strikes my funny bone. How often have you sat on a chair lift, looking down at the skiers below? This guy looks a little pooped out. Maybe this is his only moment all day to get his thoughts together or to catch his breath.
