24 Days of Ornaments: Dec the 1st

It occurred to me as I was hanging ornaments on the tree that while I know the stories behind them, it might be fun to share with my blog readers what makes them worthy of a hang upon my tree. So I'm going to try to spend the next 24 days, our Christmas countdown, sharing the story of an ornament, or group of ornaments. I'll scan them in, so the results may not always be uniform, but we'll give it a whirl.

Appropriately enough, I'll start with the star of our previous days' stories, the topper angel. I took this photo with my phone since I didn't think she'd lie down well enough to scan. She looks all angelic now, but we know we found her with the snowman. This year, when she goes into storage, I think I'll put her downstairs in the VIP boxes where I can keep an eye on her. After all, I don't know what all goes on in the attic.
