Most years, my tree has mostly sports-themed ornaments on it, plus a few special homemade ones and Casey's ornaments (she gets one each year and I've marked the back with the year). Three years ago I added a silver "wish" ornament from Red Envelope -- you're supposed to write down your wish on a small slip of paper, put it in the ornament and not open it until the following year. Each year, Jill takes the paper out, throws it away and gives me a new slip. Each year, the wish hasn't come true. I think, I'm pushing it a little in writing my wish down for next year, but it's entirely possible that I could have a referral by the time we put the tree up next year. We'll see.
This year's tree (as it was last year) is mostly Yankees and baseball. There are a few exceptions. Casey's ornaments, one each year since I found her in 1998....
...an ornament for Johnny Unitas...
...but mostly Yankees, Babe...
...and lots of Derek.
It's a sickness, I know.
And Casey, enjoying her time on the tree skirt....and knocking over the wise men.
It reminds me I hope to get an Ethiopian nativity set ..if possible.
ReplyDeleteNice.. Another check for a person who prefers fake... I am trying to make the big decision and am so tempted to try real next year.
