Too early to think about Christmas?

Yeah it's September and I'm already thinking about Christmas. Recently I have been thinking about Christmas ornaments, how my family has a tradition that each year my two sisters and I receive a new ornament from the hallmark series our parents started getting for us when we were younger. I have the classic car collection from hallmark and the number of ornaments is rather staggering when thinking of putting them all on the tree. Lately I have been trying to find a few ornaments to help mix up the selection, ones that show my hobbies and current interests. I have found two new additions for the tree, one for my interest in camping and another for a new favorite t.v. show Doctor Who. Also decided to make a ball ornament out of Lego, just need to order the pieces.

The Doctor Who Tradis ornament is by Kurt Adler and was purchased from Amazon, it is made from plastic and has great details of the tradis, there is also a blown glass version available but I wanted something that is a little more durable.  The backpack ornament was found on eBay, no clue who it was made by, it's made from resin and feels solid, it is hand sculptured judging by the irregularities.

I love my classic car series, but 20 something car ornaments on one tree seems a little boring to me, I recently have only been placing my favorites on the tree and have something in mind for the rest. I have been wanting to make a Christmas themed car show using the classic car ornaments ever since I started getting the series. I even have a few of the classic truck series. My current problem is where to put the display. With young nieces and nephew I want to keep it high enough so they won't think the ornaments are Matchbox or Hot Wheels.It also needs to be large enough to handle the amount of ornaments. I will work on this some more.

Lastly I have decided I new tree, my little six foot tree looks tiny with the eight foot ceilings. I thinking in getting a seven and a half foot tree to really fill in the room. I'm also needing more ideas on decorating the rest of my living room and the rest of the house.
