i know that at least mary and christie will appreciate this one...
it's the famous toilet-paper-tube-soldier ornament! yup, that's a toilet paper tube, a styrofoam ball, some felt and some sequins and trust me, it would not be christmas without this ornament. i made sure to hang it out of micah's reach since it could easily be destroyed by monkey-boy and dave would be devastated should anything ever happen to it. these are they type of things that let you know that christmas is a family celebration, not something to be copied from a magazine. gotta love it! what ornaments do YOU have that fall into this category???
I have to admit, soldier is not the first thing that came to my mind but once I read it, it clicked. I like how the brim of the hat partially covers the "eyes." It makes the soldier look very determined.
ReplyDeleteUm... soldier. Right, I see it. Sort of. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have special ornaments too... all hung on the tree well out of four-year-old reaching capacity.
