...I was trying to figure out what association or symbolism the MINIs have.

 

That was cool. Obviously MINIs make pretty little treasured ornaments!

 

Funny, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen any "new" MINI Christmas tree ornaments. A few classic Minis, but not new MINIs. You'd think somebody would have made some? Maybe not quite that life-sized though... I'll have to park that in the back of my brain for a good snow-day activity...

 

I'm surprise that China will allow a Christmas tree. Since they want allow Christianity in there county.

 

I'm thinking smaller (mini ) version of the tree using smaller MINI model cars or if Matchbox makes any. (?) I know my MIL just bought the husband a little model at the grocery store awhile ago. It's amazing what a little floral wire and imagination can do.

Oh no... more projects!

Maybe you could get into the business of making MINI ornaments? Ooh... maybe you should delete this thread before someone else reads it and starts their own multi-million dollar business making MINI ornaments! You'll kick yourself later if you don't!

Merry Christmas!

 

MINI USA had some printable 1st Gen ornaments on their website a while back. I don't know if they are still there. I have the printout. I will try to get it scanned for you guys.
