Happy Christmas to all!Hers's a pic of my parents' tree, with a much beloved teardrop ornament from the 1970s that we grew up with - there are only three or so left.
I loved these teardrops as a kid, and I still do.
It still has the old string on it, can you imagine? And it looks like the top bit is rusted!
There are only two left of this teardrop, this one and a red one, both faves.
Behind you can see a big red ball with white icing-sugar like designs on it. My Mom bought a box of those balls, in solid red and solid blue, when she was 21 and wasn't able to make it to her home for Christmas because of bad weather.
There are maybe half a dozen of these balls left, and we all love them as much as Mom does.
Speaking of being 21 and Moms, my Mom started a holiday ornament tradition when we were about 20. She gives all her girls, and now her grandchildren, a holiday tree ornament every year. It's such a nice tradition. Though I have never not gone home for the holidays, if ever I don't I know I can look at my ornaments and feel a sense of home ... and Mom, natch.
Have a lovely day.
