Yup. It’s like any other gift you have absolutely no use for, and probably came from someone you don’t know well so it’s not going to be sentimental. [/quote]

Op here The problem is that I work in an elementary school, so some of these ornaments are actually very sweet heartfelt gfts from students[/quote]

I’m the one you’re replying to and I also work in a school. ( I’m Jewish and don’t consider Christmas secular and get pretty tired of being so immersed in it everywhere I go, but accept that this is the culture we live in. )

The kid gives me an ornament. I say thank you. I display it on the shelf in the classroom for the season because it makes the kid happy. Then I toss it or give it away. If I felt sentimental about it and I didn’t want to display it at home, it can go in a shoebox on a shelf. Or keep it on display in the classroom with other trinkets to remember your kids. I don’t generally like to keep “stuff” but if you’re sentimental then those are the options. [/quote]
