Christmas ornaments are just like jelly beans. You can never have just one. What do you have when you have two or three? Why, you have the beginning of a collection. Every year, I look forward to seeing the ornaments that have been so carefully packed away in acid free paper for a year. I carefully unwrap each one and place a hook on it. Some of the older ones are too fragile to remove hooks, so those stay year round.
This year I decided to take an inventory of the ornaments and create a pictorial essay in the form of a slideshow for the web so that you can see them, too. Today, after four days of doing photo edits on the more than 200 images that Jim took, I asked him to create a slideshow format, the first time we have done anything like this. I am pleased to say that you may now view our new file that consists of a brief essay and a link to the ornament photos.
Enjoy the show!
