I’m guessing a few of you are waiting to be called out as the topic today… but NO! The other fat man.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Good thing Santa wasn’t rolling into town last night because we had some dense fog hanging low to the ground. He’d have missed our place for sure. Of course, I want snow for the holidays so I was pretty depressed after looking at the graphic below. Over an hour south of Indy and even their chances of a white Christmas are poor.
Ornaments and decor…
I have some ornaments that make it onto the tree every year no matter how ragged they’re getting. I have a dated ornament for every year since 1979. So many collected at this point they don’t all still make it to a branch, but some do.
This special one always make the cut too.
The ornament Ben made in grade school with Nanny’s photo inserted never stays in a box, and the one purchased by Jerilyn after the death of my Dad is also a constant.
And finally, the fat man is always there. The Santa in the photo below was gifted to me by my sister-in-law, Sheri, that passed away in 2005.
I look at beautifully decorated trees of friends that are all matching and have a theme and think that’s what I’ll do next year too. But next year, I’ll probably pull out that one box of ornament memories unable to let them rest through the holidays.
What about you? Do you have at least 5 special ornaments that always have a place on your Christmas tree year after year?
TIL (Today I Learned): The top 10% of drinkers in America consume an average of 74 drinks per week. (woah!!) About 30% of Americans never drink at all and another 30% only drink on special occasions, at most once every couple of weeks.
