From now until Christmas I am going to post one picture a day of an ornament that means something to me and why. I hope it will get me back into the habit of writing again and I think it it’s a neat idea and some interesting things can come out. So spread the cheer.
This ornament is one of a set that my mother painted. Like the angels we have a box full of snowmen, nutcrackers, angels, bells and other Christmas items. We don’t always put them on the tree anymore, our collections of other ornaments don’t leave much room but we always take them out and look at them.
I remember when I was young and before we started collecting hallmark ornaments the way we do now. These were the ornaments I would hang on the tree. They weren’t breakable like the fragile balls and glass figurines that mostly filled the tree in those years.
Now that I am older though I can see the snowman looks a little demented with his pipe but maybe its just the camera angle.
