DAY 23: CLASSIC ORNAMENTS
Holiday decorations are subjected to a sad life. Despite a month or so of pure bliss, they spend most of the year confined to a box in the basement. They're prisoners with only a limited chance to strut their stuff.
However, their time stuffed in storage builds anticipation. Excavating your decorations every year becomes a comforting tradition. You rediscover the treasures that remained dormant for months and months.

These festive fixtures are my earliest memory of that tradition. Each year, my Mom & Dad would dig out the boxes, while I eagerly awaited the return of a cowabunga Christmas. My childhood bedroom was a showcase for the TMNT phenomenon. The massive collection was proudly on display year-round. However, these ornaments were a limited engagement.

As December approaches, I still instinctively know it’s the season for Turtle tree-trimming. The ornaments get their annual chance to boast their mutant magic – and it fills me with holiday cheer.

It is the sad life of a nice Christmas ornament, but once December starts rolling around just te next year, then everything turns out to be alright.
ReplyDeleteThe Michelangelo ornament with the snowman is just plain awesome. I adore the others, but Mikey always gets the god stuff during this holiday time. But, he is the party dude, anyways.
I still can't believe tomorrow's the final day. I'm going to dread it, but everything good must come to an end, no?
