Usually I don't think about projects that are only 'good' for part of the year (such as Christmas ornaments) -- after all, I figure if you put that much work into a project, you want to sanely display it all year long. But since I will be holding a Beaded Ornament class soon, I have become quite hooked on creating these beaded beauties, and trying to figure out new ways with different bead stitches to get them done. This photo shows just a basic "banner" style, but I've got some modern 'brick stitch', traditional netted, and square stitched types almost finished also...
