Looking for something different to show for the Holiday Season. I remembered a few different ornaments we have of the tree. I try to buy a few of whimsical ornaments just for fun each year. I found this line at a local store.
Enjoy :)

Christmas ornaments are decorations (usually made of glass, metal, wood or ceramics) that are used to festoon a Christmas tree.
Ornaments take many different forms, from a simple round ball to highly artistic designs. Ornaments are almost always reused year after year, rather than purchased annually, and family collections often contain a combination of commercially produced ornaments and decorations created by family members.
Santa Claus is a commonly used figure. Candy canes, fruit, animals and snowflake imagery are also popular choices
Lucretia P. Hale's story "The Peterkins' Christmas-Tree"[1] offers a short catalog of the sorts of ornaments used in the 1870s:
There was every kind of gilt hanging-thing, from gilt pea-pods to butterflies on springs. There were shining flags and lanterns, and bird-cages, and nests with birds sitting on them, baskets of fruit, gilt apples, and bunches of grapes."
The modern-day Christmas ornament was originally invented in the small German town of Lauscha in the late 16th century.[2] |

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Clipped’
I dont need to run the guantlet with Titan and try putting up Christmas things, all I do is open the site and look at all the other decorations, much easier and less trouble than arguing with one cat. Very nice, thank you.
